You really do not have a concept of ownership here do you...

You realize property on the Gulf of Mexico sold for $.50 per acre at one point? Do you realize it sells by the square foot now?

LMAO, buying and selling land is one of the safest ways to make money...

What do you mean by investment? Capital improvements they invest into the land or natural appreciation of the rent value?


Land is scarce, especially land in urban areas. There is value in scarcity. You're saying that if I can afford to buy land in a valuable business area that I should not view this as an investment?

Oh he got a ton more, that's just an example. But it's a perfect example of inheriting and building an empire. Do you not respect what he did bc his daddy was really successful, therefore, he didn't do it alone?

Explain what you mean by this. If not real estate appreciation, how is the rent value of the land increased?

Why would you pay people more than the amount that they have agreed to?

DO you buy lettuce at the store and go, "$2? I'll pay the man $57 because the debunked Marxist theory of labor value."

You don't do you?

Because you are a fraud. You agree to a price, you pay that price.

My only problem is that he's dishonest about it just like he is about most things

He's taken over 400 million from his dad's business empire. Fine so be it. But don't lie and say you just got a one time loan.

Well thank God an expert is here to help. Please explain your brilliant proof to the homesteading principle, a question that the greatest political economists have struggled with and quarreled over for decades.

Who did they buy that land from? How did the seller have rights to deed it off?

It's a discussion board, genius. And it's not defending the individual, it's fighting the jealousy/entitlement mind set that just because one person is rich, anyone who ever worked for him is more deserving of that money.

Oh, I got it now... Your position is that nobody actually owns the land... WOW, you are a fricking idiot...

What if they purchased it from the government you worship so fervently?

If the wicked billionaires hadn't "used" those people's labor, they would get paid zero.

Alternately, the people "they used" could come up with their own money making enterprise. There's no club or caste that you need to belong to. Most who try fail, a few do not, and you only know about the winners.

Jealousy is an ugly look, and that's all this is.

I am not sure what you are asking. If the government grants you a monopoly on that land, you will likely see a profit on the appreciation of the rent value of the land you have a monopoly on. Thus, you can view such a deed as an investment.

I don't believe in the legitimacy of such a deed.

I was under the impression this thread was talking about "ought"..... Why retreat back to "is"?

Where did I worship the government?

You are the one boot-licking to the legitimacy of a government-enforced deed. They own that land because your beloved government said so and gave them a deed. You are recognizing the authority of the government as arbiters of property ownership. I am doing no such thing.
