Well James I hope I never do become rich, because that would mean I was part of the problem and not the solution. People only need so much money the rest should be taxed and taken away and given to the less fortunate so they can have better lives.

You see money is a master and the rich become the slaves. Once a person is rich they become enslaved to their money and only think of ways to horde more and more. That is why "charitable contrabutions" are a sham to reduce taxation. Why don't we just let the government handle the redistribution of wealth. Those charitable companies usually use all the money up before it even gets to the needy anyway. They have to pay all the people who run the show and nonoe of it ever does any good. The government is much more efficient at distributing wealth. They are less corrupt and more honest than these private sector money grabbers.
