After further discussion the questions answered are no fewer and rather more of them have popped up along the way, but isn’t that what it always is.

An investment of personal wealth ties up that wealth until such time that the individual divests himself of the venture – divesture would entail to greater or lesser degree either a profit or a loss.

The wealth of an individual is invested as a result of seeing an opportunity at an opportune moment. And yet how then would we treat a loss since any investment comes with a risk. The clear cut argument that wealth invested at such a magnitude must be taxed if it gains a profit.

The argument still stands as far as understanding the underlying necessity of distribution of wealth seen through the eyes of justice and working against a polarization of wealth in the hands of fewer and fewer individuals.

More to come on this matter.
