it's ok to be rich as long as you don't own useless cars AND maintain them?

That's not what I meant. When you own an expensive ass car like a Lambo they are really really expensive to maintain. Maybe more expensive than the car.
And there's people that collect that ****. I'm just adding the cost of maintenance on top.
I don't know at what point it's okay. Everything you take advantage of in a first world country most likely comes at the expense and suffering of somebody else. Just living here in America can be interpreted as immoral. But the only reason worth existing at all is to milk as much pleasure and enjoyment from life that you can. So I'm not going to knock somebody that lives in excess. It's just when you do it inconsiderately. Where that line is isn't that clear and we can't just assume every rich person does nothing to help. To really make any significant kind of change to prevent poverty and hunger you do need wealth and the influence that wealth brings. Blanket statements that paint every rich person with a pair of horns doesn't change anything. It just builds a resentment. A hypocritical resentment from people that would do the same thing if they were rich. I'm completely on board with leveling the playing field and holding the evil ****ers that take advantage of poor people like me accountable for their bull****. I'm just not on board with a full out class war.
