These types of discussions tend to follow onto that something must be done to cap the upper-limit on wages, which angers me, because people really don't believe in property rights, anymore. Hence my flippant comment.

We need to define just what these rights are. Is the ability to endlessly exploit people a right? Is the ability to jump out of a failing company with a multi-million dollar bonus a right?

Like all rights, property rights should only extend to sensible boundaries.

Neither of those are rights.

Exactly, but depending on how you interpret "property rights," suddenly they become rights.

Well, not really. Unless you count people as property... which no respectable modern person does.

As for leaving a failing company with a multi-million dollar bonus, that can only count under property rights if you own the business, or the owners of the business agree. Which may be "unethical" to some, but, interfering sets a bad precedent, and infringes on property rights.
