"Would you?  Not if you were the sort of person who acquires great wealth in the first place.  Big money isn't hard to come by.  All it costs is a lifetime of singleminded devotion to acquiring it and making it grow into more money, to the utter exclusion of all other interests.  They say that the age of opportunity has passed.  Nonsense!  Seven out of ten of the wealthiest men on this planet started life without a shilling - and there are plenty more such strivers on the way up.  Such people are not stopped by high taxation nor even by socialism; they simply adapt themselves to new rules and presently they change the rules.  But no premiere ballerina ever works harder, nor more narrowly, than a man who acquires riches.  Captain, that's not your style; you don't want to make money, you simply want to have money - in order to spend it."
