Fairy tale? Anon u/dec3169 is describing what Donald Trump has done - just some of the good he's done!

Your contention that every person who works hard to earn their wealth should give it all away, that they all have dark secrets they should atone for is not only radical but unreasonable and simplistic. Had DJT not been so successful he never would have been able to position himself to make such a significant impact for the good of humanity.
If it were true that everyone who earns wealth turns to the dark side (corruption) humanity would have been wiped out long ago. Money/power will corrupt many men, but certainly not all. It's beholden upon us to be discerning about a man's character irrespective of his wealth.
And then how is wealth determined? Are we talking Elon Musk rich? How about tens of billions? Hundreds of millions, tens of millions, a few million? You can buy a modest house with cash if you had $2.5 million in the bank. You could buy an island with $100 million in the bank. Then if you start helping people financially, where would it end? Could you handle being called a cruel person because you stop handing out money? There's way too much here, and if wealth falls in to your lap a la Beverly Hillbillies, what can corrupt you?
Good points. Blanket statements about how "wealthy" people are bad are usually indicative of a socialist mindset.
