Quote:You're right.  I don't know anyone that's pulling in seven figures from a large corporation that would function just as well without them.   I do know some people who earn millions each year by inventing products that "society" apparently never had a clue might be possible, and I do know people who earn millions each year by creating jobs for hundreds if not thousands of people and who have customers who are extremely grateful for the opportunity to purchase these products.  

 

Go ahead and throw some names out.

 

How much money would they make "inventing products" without society to back them up? Do you know what patent and copyright protection are? They're functions of society meant to encourage invention. Everything in our society of laws is meant to encourage or deter behavior. Taxation policy does the same, though the politicians might deny it.
