1. No ammount of rationalization is going to legitimize theft.
None of the questions above matter.
If there are no property rights, there is no civilization.
2. Incentives drive EVERYTHING.
If you strip the potential for reward, you castrate motivation, you neuter all the effort.
Inversely, if you give people something for nothing, you also kill their motivation.
Nobody wins.
3. Value to humanity.
If individuals are providing value through products or services, it's a benefit to everyone.
That shouldn't be capped at some abritrary number.
It should be encouraged and pushed to its maximum potential.
