Yay, more villifying "Wall Street" and fueling the "Wall Street vs. Main Street" fire, and suggesting that it's somehow noble or good to
not want to be rich.
I think everybody should want to be rich.
I've tried poverty and in my opinion - it sucks. It sucks big, steaming donkey balls.
The desire to make more money, to improve one's "lot in life" and to succeed, this is a Good Thing. Because a few assholes go too far in some ways, or do bad things along the path, does not change the fundamentals.
You can be rich and unhappy, or poor and unhappy. Given a choice, if I'm going to be unhappy, I'd rather at least be rich.
No one should feel any need to apologize or feel guilty about wanting to make money, even lots of money. If you want to be a fucking billionaire, go become a billionaire. Just feel guilty if you lie, or cheat or steal, or otherwise do unethical things to get there. And remember that having more money doesn't make you a better person, or intrinsically more valuable.
