No, because I don’t want to live in a world where one guy can roam the oceans on his superyacht while children starve and people die because they do not have “money”.
No, because the only reason this wealth exist is because people who make close to the median income put hours of their life into their project (and some gave their health and life for them). Take these people off the equation and the rich are nothing, yet they have more money than all the people who’ve accomplished all the work will make in their lifetime… combined!
Because basic morality says so. Please explain why it is moral to have more money than you can spend in several lifetimes rather than spend as much of it as possible helping people?
That’s not an explanation for why it’s moral to have more money than you can spend in several lifetimes rather than spend as much of it as possible helping people. Please explain.
So why don’t we look after people if we have the means?
Who has the means? Why don’t they share and use their wealth to really help people and create progress?
And why do we let them act this way?
We as in humans, on Earth, right now.
Why? Because we’re under a dysfunctional system.
They don’t share it because it’s theirs
And this is not okay.
There needs to be limit on how much wealth a single person can accumulate.
Because you want to have a say in other people’s businesses
No, because I don’t want to live in a world where one guy can roam the oceans on his superyacht while children starve and people die because they do not have “money”.
No one’s starving in a first world country.

This is like when ahmadinejad said “in Iran, we don’t have homosexuals”
Yeah, fuck those other guys over there, who cares about people in far away countries, right?
Seriously, we are a global society, and we need to think globally.
No matter where people starve, we should prevent that. And we can. We just choose not to, because “no one is starving in a first world country”.

Not rightfully so
Because you said so

There are arguments based on the moral foundations of property rights that illustrate this
They don’t deserve it and they do deserve to be poor.
Again, because you said so
Because basic morality says so. Please explain why it is moral to have more money than you can spend in several lifetimes rather than spend as much of it as possible helping people?
Because it’s yours
