Do you have “too much?”

I see a lot of social media chatter about the evils of “billionaires who have far more than they need.”

My question is what about millionaires? If you have a net worth of $700 to $950 million, is that also too much? Do we also loathe millionaires?

If we get rid of billionaires and millionaires and redistribute their wealth to the less fortunate, then do we go after the people with a net worth of more than $850,000? Do they also have “too much?” Are they just greedy?

The MEDIAN net worth in the U.S. is roughly $200,000, meaning that half of the population has a lower net worth than $200,000 and half of the population has a net worth of more than $200,000.

Do you really need more than
one television, one computer,
one phone or one tattoo?

Do we use that number? Does anyone really “need” a net worth of $200,000? Furthermore, who decides what is “too much?” If you own an acre of land, do you have too much? Do you really need an entire acre?

Do you really need more than one television, one computer, one phone or one tattoo?

Do you really need more than one car? Do you really need 14 pairs of underwear?

I think we need to be careful when pointing fingers because, eventually, we’re going to be pointing at ourselves.

I do not believe in a flat tax, even thought that (by definition) is the fairest solution.

I am only saying it gets really tricky, really fast when we talk about things such as “fair share,”

Rant over. Peace.
