@paulg@timoreilly can't you just tax the future Larry & Sergeys appropriately instead of trying to prevent them? -

@paulg@timoreilly Stiglitz keeps trying the old tired idea that has never worked (cntrl planning, wealth xfer, etc) ignoring econ freedom -

@paulg Larrys and Sergeys aren't the problem. That's a facile remark not worthy of you. Read the book, then comment http://rewritetherules.org -
