Taxes do nothing to affect the share of wealth, since taxes are only applied to income.
So that's not even a part of the conversation at all, so it's pointless talking about it....
"for a "best" moral to exist, there must exist the "best" moral base. If the base of morality varies from location to location, culture to culture...then there can't be an absolute moral..

I suspect this is one of those cases were people get mixed up in terminology -- double posting, bumping, spamming, and their real and putative definitions.
I'm looking over similar threads and it has never been authoritatively stated, to my understanding, that responding to unique individuals in succession is against the rules. In fact, it has been pointed out numerous times, either humorously by fawning admirers who orgasm at seeing the number 7, or as a point of fact by more level-headed observers, that Achronos and other reputable, rule-abiding members follow this practice. There is no need to go back and edit; that just invites turgid and rambling tomes. And it's silly. Especially in an active thread, where your edits may not be noticed though you have something to say.
The only situation I can see where this would be unacceptable is when it's used as a cover tactic for reviving dead threads. But that doesn't really make it an offense.
i agree with just about all of this. i know that we can take all of the steps that i mentioned and took in my last post to combine two posts into one, but i do not see why doing so should be favored over simply making two distinct posts. one involves more time and many more steps, and the only difference is the appearance of the post(s). i do not have any particular examples in mind of any of the mods making consecutive posts, but that some do post this way surely sends a message to the rest of us, and, since there is no official mention of this being against the rules (as far as i am aware), all of the signs that i have seen (until recently when a particular mod explained it to me after i asked questions in a pm) make it look like this is acceptable behavior for the forums.
i hope that some mods will chime in to add their thoughts. if i am on the wrong track, and if this sort of posting is in fact against the rules, then i hope that this information will be made widely accessible to all forum posters.
