    I wish people would stop spouting this nonsense. In my country, rich people are very flashy, whether they are “old money” or “new money.” Other countries may be different. Not every rich person is exactly the same (though being rich is unethical, so they are all the same in that regard).

      I don’t think being rich itself is unethical. Unethical is what you do with what you have. And, I prefer everyone to be rich than everyone to be poor. That would now make everyone unethical?

        if everybody were rich, that would cause inflation, and then consumables would be just as out of reach as they already are
