RE: Self-defeating Beliefs: Tax The Shit Out Of Those Billionaires, But I Want To Be One Of Them!

in #money8 years ago

Money is the source of a lot of evil. People as a whole focus on money way too much. There's more to life than money. I get you have to have it to survive. My thoughts in return think of all the homeless people you see on the corner, is the arguement for not giving them money exactly the same as the arguement for taxes the rich severely. He has everything so let's take it as punishment; he has nothing let's deny even more him as punishment. So you punished for having too much and also for having too little.

Sort:  

I think money, by itself, is neutral. Attachment to it, a.k.a. greed, is a source of a lot of turmoil in our lives.

Greed excessive want for an object. Or maybe obsessive want for a certain thing. Money is nuetral but people make it a source of envy, distain, evil, etc.
