Radar, In practice the world you describe creates an even larger chasm between the few rich and majority poor. To me, the mechanics it suggests seem to spin backwards towards ignorance, poverty and isolation. The trail of your extreeme values end at selfishness and greed at all costs. I believe we do need each other, that workings of daily life are bigger than my person, and there is value to the whole in providing assistance to others. (Its defining and deciding the assistance that is the issue, not the complete scraping of it.)

Its interesting that your entire position and mission rests on the ideal of educating, uplifting the masses you deride- those poor kids you feel so much contempt for you wish them dead. Just as paved roads and firetrucks, I think the educational opportunities and health of other people's kids are my investment, and it baffles me that you cannot see the benefit in that.
