We are under no moral obligation to spend our money in any way. Where does this sense of entitlement come from?
Do you believe that your morals are truely absolute?
- yorwba 9y agoI subscribe to moral relativism, so any statements about morality I make are just my opinion, nothing more.
- bmmayer1 9y agoYou did make a moral statement and presented it as fact, so you are under some obligation to defend it, I think.
- nnfy 9y agoSure, that is the point of moral relativism, because morality is shaped by culture. For instance, capital punishment is variously moral/immoral in different parts of the world.
- SubiculumCode 9y agoAn[d] society is under no obligation to let your money continue to have power over them. See it can go both ways, and people have to give both ways.
- nnfy 9y agoOur agreement is based on the fact that there will always be someone more interested in your wallet than your life. It is dangerous to suggest that after x dollars it is acceptable to take money from someone. Excluding taxes, which are a different subject.
- cannonedhamster 9y agoIt's nothing to do with morality. It's to do with self-preservation. Eventually, the have nots get tired of looking in on those that live lives that their children will not be able to obtain and revolt, often violently. This is especially true when those who have inherited wealth assume to know how those who don't have wealth should live and apply flippant responses to real world issues.
