But the fact that some find it easier to make money does not necessarily make it harder for others to make money. The fact that some are successful in one aspect of business and it is difficult for others to break into that particular business does not prevent people from looking for other ways to make money and acquire property. There are only so many positions in the top law firms, so many professorships in the universities, so many openings in upper management at G.E. There is only so much bottom land in West Virginia, and only so much beachfront property on the coast. But in a free market system in which people have liberty, if a door is closed in one place, there is nothing stopping us from looking for a different one.
Even in less free societies, industrious people seem to manage to find positives. In Medieval Europe, for example, Jews were forbidden to own land. So they went into law and banking and science and shipping instead and prospered that way, a legacy that has continued into modern times. And then they were often resented and demonized because they were so successful and prosperous.
But this topic is not about lack of opportunity. It is the danger of one segment of society assuming right to the legally and ethically acquired property of another segment of society. And one segment of society being able to vote itself what it wants at the expense of the other. I should not be able to hinder you in pursing your ambitions and dreams. And I should not be able to vote to get what you have legally and ethically earned just because I didn't do that for whatever reason.
