Dunno, it's not important.
Here, let me take half your income (probably more, when all is said and done) and spend it on things that makes "society" a little richer. Don't want to? Well, you have a choice: either you let me take it; or I take it with a gun; or I throw you in a cell, sell yours goods, and then take it.
Even if there was some semblance or morality about this, it's a massive toss up. Lots of events like these fail to ever generate a profit.
