I don't think anyone should be able to hoard more than they can consume.
 Not as long as there are those who're starving/dehydrating/freezing to
death.  When I know that those BILLIONS of people out there, who fight daily
to survive, are incapable of making the 'smart' moves these Billionaires
make (having been provided the same stable upbringing), THEN I'll concede,
and personally hand them their 7, 8, 9 figure checks.
Until then, be grateful to be standing on the shoulder of giants, and live
off of a measly $5million a year, or some arbitrary multiple of the poorest
income.
$$$=Opportunity. Having 8 or 9 figures in your acct just means that there
are MANY who won't have opportunity---because of you. Rationalize it away
any way you'd like.
