I haven't thought about this for a long time, but I remember believing this as a child. I think it was my Catholic school upbringing. And my Dad was a union man. I dunno. It doesn't make sense to me now.

BUT, I do think some people hoard more resources than they need, as in the most recent tax bill. I believe that a nation's wealth should be distributed. Not equally, but in a way that benefits more people.

I don’t think that being rich is evil, it more depends on what means one takes to become rich. Also, the richer one is, the easier it is for them to grow their wealth. Capital in the 21st Century by Thomas Picketty is a good read.

Effort should always be rewarded and everyone should be able to get rich. Nobody, however, should be able to get rich through exploitation or avoid contributing their fair share to society. There is a balance. It has not been reached.

To squirrel money away for no reason may possibly be evil as what f===ing good can it do sitting in a bank account. [ that's aimed at the really rich who would never bother with us anyway]

All I know is that I'm not broke. I'm neither rich nor poor. Evil does not exist in my world.
