Indeed. One cannot get absurdly wealthy without making money from millions and millions of others. It's the nature of such wealth, and it is a sign of a society's moral decay.
I'm not against making lots of money by providing a good product at a fair price, but that's not what right-wingers are doing. They are robber-barons robbing from the populace for their own selfish greed. And we are all left poorer, both literally and figuratively.
Once we shift our personal and governmental focus to raising the standard of living for our least cared-for -- instead of allowing our systems to add more riches to the wealthy -- we can change this world into a fun, beautiful, and healthy place for us ALL. But that will not happen without selfless compassion.
Selfish taking harms us all; selfless giving helps us all. To love someone is to want them to be happy, and we are in desperate need of far more lovingkindness in this world.
