Who will protect your assets if we no longer have a functioning court system and police force. This is why it is important that those who find themselves in fortunate financial circumstances, be restrained in their attachment to their disproportionate level of wealth and that in order to maintain their affluence they need to realize that it takes the vast majority of people working together and contributing to the collective whole. If a tiny percentage of individuals keep taking most of the surplus wealth then sooner or later people will react.
