So, money is equal to stolen time in you view. So if I work and get paid I am a thief. It makes little sense. When I get paid I can use this money to buy someone else labor. It is a medium of exchange and it is indicator of value that I generate. In the free market place, by default, you must generate or promise to generate value to get paid.

The point is no one becomes a billionaire from honest labor but by become a parasitic hedge fund manager or by stealing the labor from the employees of the company they own shares in, like Bezos does. to get to Bezos and Musks net worth in 20 years you need to be "producing" more like $3 million/hour. No single human is that productive and the only way to do this is by being parasitic.

What about renting? Do you generate value when you rent the places you inherited from your parents?

Sad how you and I are getting down voted for telling harsh truths. Renting inherited property is the text book example of unproductive "rent seeking" behavior.
