rich people are strange individuals who crave power and attention that wealth gives them, which is fine just let them get on with it, leave them alone and do not try and kill the goose that lays the golden egg.
They also do not commit crimes, behave in an anti social manner or do anything else objectionable (though a lot of people hate them just because they are rich)
The problem that I seee is that money is now too important in our lives. In order for us to live in peace, for our kids to have a good education, to travel to work, go on holiday we are too dependent upon making money
The blame for the ills of society lies with the govt and the socialists and their self serving vested interests being pandered to. Show me a monopoly and I will show you the cause of problems. Instead of blaming the problems of society on the true culprits (those who so shoddily and scandalously waste our tax), we choose as always to blame those who create the wealth for not giving us more.
Much true in what you say, but I think the rich are as prone to committing crime as the rest of us, and in indeed in many cases more so eg the sudden rise of wealth in previously communist society. Above all what you say about the role that money plays in life today is too true, but remember it is the love of money that is the root of all evil not money per se.
As for blame I remember the supposeldy shortest letter ever written to the Times on a subject of what is wrong with the world. It was from George Bernard Shaw and ran
Sir,
I am yours sincerely
