Mark Carroll's Journal

I'm not sure that it is: if society is increasingly rigged toward the property owners in the way that Marx and Corbyn might imagine then with enough capital one might manage a state change such that one is able to invest efficiently, pay lower effective tax rates, etc., and if living modestly never have to work again (which I'd highly value!), in a qualitatively different way that is not accessible in my normal lifespan if I simply accumulate the money I'm not spending on lottery tickets (which indeed I don't) and spend it on nicer food or pay it into my pension scheme or some other lawful thing or whatever.
