    What happens with wealth? Ideally, it gets spent and/or given away rather than hoarded.

    If you are hoarding wealth, as most rich people are, then yes, you are the one being discussed.

    No one is forcing you to keep those millions.

      No one except the very system that makes poor people miserable? Oh you noble grand standing naive person. Besides wealth can be used for many good things.

      But yes I am willingly going to throw it all away and go homeless. That will benefit society for sure 🤦‍♀️

      Besides what is the numerical threshold when having money becomes evil? The very narrative doesn’t make any sense. It’s not about money but about a human behind it. Can be good or bad.

        I’m not all surprised that you think anyone who doesn’t have millions of dollars is poor.

        And yes, wealth can be used for many good things. See above, re giving it away rather than hoarding it.

        Generally speaking the threshold for when money becomes evil, is when you’re actively defending, hoarding, and even lashing out at poor people for dare saying you could be using the money better.

        If you truly have millions then you could just as easily donate to food shelters, help lobby for laws that don’t ban homelessness, you could even use that money to defend the people who are being squashed by the wealthy.

        There are millions of things to do with your millions of dollars, that also won’t leave you broke. Its sad to think you equate helping/donating = becoming poor.
