She lucked out, probably inherited it from papa rooster, or had some connections, education, reaping the benefit of knowledge and techniques that she more than likely did not devise.

Which is not to say she is more indebted to society than society is to her. Mutual dependence, or teamwork. The rich pay for the building blocks for their prosperity and the prosperity of others, by keeping living standards elevated for all. The poorer contribute the labor to make it possible.

Mutual dependency = teamwork.


Fine, papa rooster worked hard, took risks, invested wisely, and reaped the benefits. With that money that he earned, he set up little nest egg for Miss. Chicken. She, rather than blowing that money like most heirs do, invested it wisely to improve her standard of living, and everybody elses. It was Papa's money, and then it was her money. It was never your money.

The alternative is that she reached out to the network of exploiters, highly-paid consultants and other money-pushers, who moved her money around to grow it.

This is why we need to move on to the post-property epoch.
