Seeing this reminded me of something I posted a year ago, link to that in the comments as it relates to the comments in the linked Reddit thread. (archive.is)

I don't hate the concept of rich people. It is that the people I hate happen to be rich. I hate them because they use their wealth not even for their own personal benefit, but for the active detriment of their own society.

I don't give a shit if Bill Gates has 40 Lamborghinis. I give a shit that he is funding an effort to deliver bioweapons to innocent civilians via mosquitos. Mosquitos kill more people than any other animal, and he wants to make them more deadly.

I actually think there is such a thing as too rich. Once you get past a certain point of wealth, you start getting bored. You can buy whatever you want, you can live multiple lifetimes in luxury without having to work. What else is there to do?

Humans weren't designed to live a life without needs or suffering. I think being a billionaire actually drives people mad. Every time I read a biography about a billionaire or the equivalent wealthy man in history, they never behave like they are a part of their own community. They don't try to uphold the values of their community, or the traditions, etc. They use their wealth to try to change things. To change society into what they think things ought to be. Being a billionaire seems to turn you into a libtard. Billionaires lose their humanity because their wealth shields them from having to be human.

When was the last time you heard of a billionaire having to worry about losing their home, or their job, or getting mugged on the subway? The last time a truly wealthy man had to worry about such things was probably the wild west, and even then he could afford an armed escort. Their wealth literally separates them from their fellow man.

You can tempt a man with sin, you can tempt a man with wealth, but give him power, and you will see the evil of his heart.

It is the very nature of man to use our power to shape our environment. We all do it within the limits of our power. A poor man can do good by raising his children right, or he can rob, steal and abandon. The limits of his power set how far his influence may spread.

The greater the limits on his power, the greater evil he can accomplish. Unfortunately throughout history, there have been very few checks on the evil of powerful men. One can only use our limited power to support those few good men who have more power than us.
