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.

Lucem is displaying wisdom far beyond his years and some of you choose to write it off simply because you're too scared to reevaluate the beliefs that you cling to.

I don't think that anyone is positing that.

We need to demonize the corrupt system and those who leech off of and fuck 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.

No. It’s the cancer.

No it isnt. The cancer is what theyll do to earn and keep it, and how theyll use it.

you'd have to have brain damage

Youre laughably ridiculous over moral financial success. It's okay for some people to be better off than others, as long as the lowest standards of living accommodate all human needs.
