I think it would be better to say "obscenely become rich" rather than "become obscenely rich." I personally don't think there is anything obscene about being rich in and of itself.

- loup-vaillant 10y agoBig fat bank accounts let you control the action of other people: you buy some goodie or some service, someone works to provide it to you. There is a point where having so much control over other people's lives can be considered a problem. Now maybe it wouldn't be so bad if your own hard work indeed did produced that much value the world. But that's moot: virtually nobody gets rich by working —in practice, they got there by having other people work for them. That is, they accumulate the power of controlling other people's lives by controlling other people's lives in the first place. Anarcho-capitalism is such an oxymoron.
