And why we're at it, let's just abolish all private property rights. That way we could all enjoy the benefits that are now reserved for those money grubbing capitalists whose only contribution is to pay to employ us while we're inventing all this cool stuff. I don't care who owns it. I just want to be paid to try and fail and try and fail over and over until I finally have something that can be tried in the market place over and over and have a billion in one chance of returning any money at all back to the evil capitalist. Rather than the capitalist making money off it, I would rather GIVE my inventions freely to the world so that all mankind may benefit from my benevolence but of course still recognize me as the great genius that I am!
