Default If you can make a wish with these terms and conditions

What would you wish for if the government said they will pay for any one time purchase any price.
but....
1. Can't be a car (boat, planes ok.. But think about maintenance)
2. Can't be real estate or property.
3. Can't buy a person
4. You can not sell or donate it once you have it.

I'd ask for them to buy Exxon Mobil for me... 482 bil in revenue last year. Can't sell it, but I think I'd do OK off the revenue.

No it is a business that also owns property.
I am not so sure you could buy anything if we go by your rules because once purchased it becomes your "property" regardless of what it is.


If we are going by your translation then I would say my families taxes for the next 15 generations.

Fair enough... I'd probably ask for a NHL hockey team that I don't mind watching - most NHL teams lease their buildings, so no owned property (I assume people don't count).
