re: #20 jaunte

I really think you have to take it on a case-by-case basis. Some wealthy people are great, others are asses.

Well yes. So are poor, middle-class, etc.

It’s just that if you have the ability to help others, and you spend it on things like a gold-plated toilet brush*, you’re a jerk.

*As opposed to a work of art or something that required talent. I have no problem with artisans being properly rewarded for their efforts and training. A gold-plated toilet brush, and yes this is an example from real life, is just being a jerk.
