Ideas don't flow properly in a hierarchical
system. Wealth, and power is completely top down
hence the definition of a hierarchy. Your
argument can easily be used to justify
monarchism, state-socialism, fascism. Quenching
someones thirst for unending resources is not a
freedom, since it has nothing to do with thought
or expression, only control over other people. To
put things in perspective you have no right to
own the entire world (example) because you are
subsequently taking the freedom and "liberty" of
someone else.
