I didn't think you were so it's all good. I think what's getting intertwined is im talking more about the middle class asking for a wage increase at a job they love over someone who has accumulated a lot of wealth in their career that they also love. Or hate. Idk. With someone who is already pretty well off, yeah I'd agree that asking for more is a bit greedy. Its like asking for a mansion when youve already got a boat. But again, that also comes down to what they decide to do with that wealth which brings us back to point A.
