Who is morally bankrupt here? Has he lived a life so immersed in money that it is directly connected to his feelings and insecurities? How does he do it?
Well, this is sadder than a litter of puppies dying from hookworms and I had to go get a bucket to catch the waterfall of tears it invokes.
I would say, LISTEN: We are the people. We, en masse, provide the skills, the massive infrastructure, pools of labor, laws, safety, etc., etc., that you need to be there, all special and self-made, up at the top of the pyramid. Without us, you would be banging rocks together. Never forget that! This is an interdependent system whether you like it or not and your mythical, single handed success is now akin to a religious fable of capitalism. It is tired and false.
The best and most potent image here is the pyramid and I think it holds true. If these wankers at the top keep playing their game and forget that we all hold the whole thing up, their gilded towers will have nothing to stand on if they drain us all completely dry, which I do think they would do since their wealth is not mere affluence it is an addiction like gambling and there will NEVER be enough and they are powerful enough that nobody can stop them, intervene or get them in recovery and this is our society that's at stake here.
Consider just how much wealth will lose value when the whole thing comes tumbling down because you suffocated us and left us homeless and starving, to weak to hold your structure up.
