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?

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
