Why do poor people and middle class feel ownership over rich peoples money and think they have the right to speak over how it should be spent ?

Obviously this is not everyone

because that money was acquired by exploiting natural resources, which should be considered the joint inheretance of the nation they belong to.

@BlueVeins those resources belong to whoever owns them or the rights to them. It's not a joint inheretance.

@Stereoguy the law. Where do you get thinking its a joint inheretance?

@AnnSteve from an organizational perspective, it makes sense to have property rights over natural resources, but not a moral one. Natural resources aren't made or earned; they were kinda just there when we got here and we built our society upon them. If we're to consider ourselves a free society and not a feudal state, we have to take a step back and say that any economic system that relies on the idea of a man owning a river or forest or the air we breathe has got to be taken with a gigantic grain of salt.

@Stereoguy cool

@BlueVeins well no one owns rivers or the air. If that was true then water access would be blocked and it isn't. People or companies own shares of water. Now forests are different. That's an be owned.
