How does a man earn $1 from a wealthy person who wants nothing from him?
I don't know.  I guess you think he should just steal it.  Or ask the government to steal it for him.

Of course I don't...stealing is not ethically acceptable to me, but I do know that after exhausting all attempts of bartering, he will either steal it, murder him or starve to death. I can't think of any other alternatives myself, can you or anyone else?

Do you think it's more morally outrageous for a person to starve to death or starve to steal? I'm going to assume we both think starving to murder is the absolute worst one.
