What Level of Wealth Do You Consider Evil?

87. What is greed though?

Is it okay, in your eyes, for a person making, say, $60,000 a year to say "I want more"?

Or is that also greed?

At what point does it become "okay" versus being "greedy"? I mean, there must be an income where saying "I want more" is acceptable because the person saying it does not have enough to live a decent life. Was even $60,000 too low? Perhaps it is okay for the $60,000 person. At what level does it become bad?

Why is "not paying taxes" equated to greed?

I mean, suppose I avoid $500,000 in taxes, but also give $1,000,000 to charity. Is that a bad thing?

I was recently talking/thinking about Art Garfunkel. He is worth, they say, $45 million. I sorta wondered, IF I had that opportunity myself to pile up 45 million dollars, would I do it? I like to think that I would NOT, that I would instead give at least $30 million of that away. But why stop there? Even $15,000,000 is a ridiculous amount of wealth. Why not give away another $10 million? Isn't $5,000,000 more than enough for any reasonable person? Say a $500,000 house/property, and then an income of at least $90,000 a year.

Isn't that more than enough for any reasonable person? As such then, is it not at least a little bit wrong for Art Garfunkel to allow his fortune to accumulate instead of doing something better with it?
