Is it immoral to make a certain amount or have a certain amount of wealth?
Simple question. Is it immoral to make a certain amount or have a certain amount of wealth?

3. It's not the amount, it's how you got it
and what you do with it.

7. If you're talking amassing more money than one can spend in, say, a hundred lifetimes, yes.

20. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle...
... than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
I think the vast majority of wealthy people got that way by being immoral, unethical sharks.
I would tax the very wealthy out of existence. If they leave the USA, good riddance. We keep their stuff.

26. It isn't the amount, per se
But the method in which one obtained it.
Impoverished DUmmy pineapple head still thinks he's going to get rich from rap crap.
Let's get the opinion of a trained historian:

27. I will leave morality out of it...nice RW talking point by the way
Social stability...every time a society reaches a certain imbalance in the distribution of wealth, for example when certain heirs own something like 40% of all wealth, you are setting yourself for guillotine time.
And the view from a padded cell:

29. yes when that wealth causes others to not be able to have survival,
Because the super rich destroy others ability to live,no one should go without so a few can have everything they ever want or could possibly spend for 1,000 lifetimes.
There needs to be a cap on personal wealth& corporate wealth.
Zero sum games over survival vs accumulation of obscene wealth are destroying us .
Every rich man is a parasite upon others.

What about the income disparity in the film industry? Why should an A list actor make $20,000,000 and a caterer or grip or some assistant only make minimum wage and have no benefits?????
Actors, directors, and producers should be limited to making 25X the lowest paid salary on the set.

78. Not at all.
As long as it isn't generated from nefarious or ecosystem destroying practices. Basically as long as you aren't profiting from Wall St or a corporation of any kind your on the right track. Otherwise your just a sponsor of terrorism against nature and a harsh life for every future living thing.

Have they mentioned yet how old Joe Kennedy amassed his fortune or the economic devastation that was caused by George Soros currency shorting tactics?

Being rich and making lots of money is evil if you are a republican.
Being rich and making lots of money is noble if you are a democrat.
That is all.

Like I need your permission, ****scab.
If I spent the money on a yacht DU would be furious. Nevermind the builders, dock hands, construction workers, fuelers, logistical personnel, interior designers, caterers, farmers, crew and taxes that are employed/created when you buy a yacht.
If I spent it on drugs and abortions for my underaged porn star girlfriends, DU would crawl over broken glass to defend my "rights."

Well that pretty much eliminates you woman/man/panther thingy! The American public have pretty much paid for your existence, your meds, your counseling, your stays at institutions, even your pineapple juice obsession/remote viewing when you were a kid. You certainly don't look like you miss too many meals. And we've also helped pay for your various hair colors, tattoos & boob removal. Oh, and your panther suit (so you can be a furrie) and the tail you wear. Granted you really are a freaking nutcase but the tattoos and boob jobs go a little further than "having survival".

They don't like anyone who works for what they have. If you are even a little successful, they want you to be forced to give all you have to them.
-
They need to go after Hollywood then - Actors, actresses and directors make a ridiculous amount of money, and they do it at the expense of all the film support staff, extras, etc who get nothing by comparison. they also do it at the expense of everyday people, when they tie up traffic for days around a filming location.
By your definition all of that wealth is unethical, so better start protesting Hollywood primitives.

Do the DUches know that to keep the 0bamas in the style they demand we spend almost $4million a day on them?
No billionaire lives like that. No billionaire could afford to live like that. IIRC Harry Reid lives in an exclusive suite at the Ritz-Carlton on of the five star hotels in WDC. Just like the common man they represent and work so hard for.

UGPee and the majority of DUmocratics are a parasite on the American taxpayer.
Childen pitching a tantrum in the grocery store because they didn't get their candy.

That's about the extent of it. The tantrums are never a pretty thing.

So that means I can run a business and those around me can't be my customers, eh?
Interesting. Stupid, but interesting.

Why do they even bother talking about wealth?
Do you know why I don't talk about feathers?
Because I'll never have any.

Well, yeah, but it sort of died out.
I thought the ptarmigan was devoured by the bunnies years ago.

Having lots of money isn't everything. It pays the bills, vacations, etc. Going to work and working for it, to me is an accomplishment, that I don't have to ask my fellow man to work and pay my bills. I do that on my own, and damn proud of it. I like that I will back on life and think, I worked hard to have the things I do and enjoy. I like the fact I will be able to help my parents in their old age, when they helped me when I was a child.

DUmmies don't feel that way. They feel THE MAN should take care of them. And ANYONE who gets ahead; that person should give them everything they worked for.

DUmmies Discuss Wealth
Might as well be dogs discussing astronomy, the comprehension level would be on par. Maybe a modest advantage to the dogs, since they can at least distinguish the moon as a separate thing to be barked at by itself.
