People should be as rich as they can be, isn't that the goal? Obviously, there comes a point where you have enough money to bankroll yourself for the rest of your life, then you should start spreading the wealth around.

No, there isn't. You're 100% wrong and misdirecting your anger and frustration.
There's nothing wrong with being wealthy. The problem arises when you're rich and then choose to neglect benevolence and philanthropy and not give back to society.

I don't think that anyone is positing that.
We need to demonize the corrupt system and those who leech off of and f
uck others over, not the inherent life goal of wanting to be successful.
There are always going to be people who have more than you, and there are always going to be people who have less than you. That's just life. What we do about it is up to us.
