Is it immoral to be rich?

Regardless of whether or not you have "earned" massive wealth, the question is to what degree are you permitted to retain it.

The question of getting and the question of keeping are distinct.

Take this example, let's say I come into possession of a whole lot of EpiPens and I encounter a child experiencing a severe allergic reaction.

Do I have a moral obligation to help the child? 

Maybe I worked hard to make the money to buy them or maybe I stole them. It doesn't really matter how legitimate the acquisition is. What matters is what you do them. On seeing the child, I can choose to throw them in the garbage or give one to the child to save its life. Although it's my legal right to throw them away is it morally right? 

Instead of arguing the morality of acquisition of wealth, start talking about the retention of wealth when we are in a world with so many in need.

This idea comes from this article.

Do we need wealthy philanthropists?

I was watching a Fox news report where the reporter was commenting on the idea that the ultra-rich get taxed at 70%. She cited examples of several people who had donated millions to charity and asked the viewers what we would do if we didn't have these philanthropists to help us. But making a show of doing good while benefiting from unfettered capitalism doesn't make you a some kind of change agent, but a fraud. If you're just blunting the edge of rampant inequality with a fortune you made preying on people who lack healthcare, union or job security, you aren't exactly off the hook for being a capitalist huckster. You're making yourself feel better, and perhaps making it less likely hordes of angry people storm your gated estate. Philanthropy isn't a moral get-out-jail-free card. You can't escape a broader responsibility to humankind with a few perfunctory handouts.

Is socialism fringe?

Fox News in a story on the " Socialism Rising " talks about the new crop of democrats entering congress and their "socialist" ideals as being a fringe movement. Ideals, like accessible healthcare and education, funded in part by higher marginal tax rates for the ultra-wealthy are seen as insane concepts. It's like calling the metric system a fringe idea. Every country in the world uses it except Burma, Liberia, and the US. according to the author of the 1981 book Metric Madness: Over 150 Reasons for NOT Converting to the Metric System , the conversion process was considered by many to be a communist conspiracy. In fact, most of the western world embraces those ideals. College tuition in most European countries is free or relatively inexpensive . American tuition costs are among the highest in the world. Almost all developed countries offer universal healthcare . United States is one of the few countries that do not guarantee access to healthcare. These kin...
