    There are probably more poor people who would say that it is not possible to be too rich. Does that make them greedy and immoral too?

    Never put all your eggs in one basket.. That's why most investors have funds over seas. Most pension funds for the average worker do the same. Howard Hughes put a friend of mine through medical school, after learning he had the grades but not the money. Just because they have more wealth doesn't make them heartless monsters. .

    And I guess it's no surprise the "other baskets" have certain tax advantages and non-disclosure perks. Such loyalty to our own financial institutions brings tears to my eyes. NOT.

    On a personal level it does often seem to remove a person from the reality of the rest of humanity, to limit empathy, and to give a sense of entitlement at the expense of others. On a societal level, it means for every extra dollar a super rich person has that's another dollar that can't go to feed a child, provide a job, etc.

    But by the same token, if you had all that money, it would mean you'd have the power to feed children or provide jobs. You'd have the power to make a big positive difference in the world.

    Not is it only possible to get too rich, but in North America it is, for many, the status quo. Consider our homes, equipped with electricity, hot and cold running water, and climate control. Many of our homes have separate bedrooms for each occupant, some of which with its own bathroom. Many of us have our own personal vehicle, and some families, and even individuals, maintain a second home for recreation, or simply “to get away from it all”. In our supermarkets, one is overwhelmed by the range of products and the choices within each category.

    Frankly, most of us live more pampered lives than did the kings and queens of yesteryear. Strangely, however, we continue to bemoan our lot.

    It wasn't a stereotype. It's an observation. Most people who have little money inherently understand the obscenity of having "to much" money.

    No. Wealth is the plenitude of options. It is impossible to have too many options. It is possible to be too stupid to take advantage of those options.

    Bill gates is a colege drop out that bought someone elses idea and build a system around it. Something simple and made millions.. As to being to rich lets ask the people that run America behind the scenes, they have the power but dont because to then were all their employees of the system called the goverment thet people that get rich are the ones that manage to free themselves from the claws of the governement system.
