I am comfortable making the sweeping generalization that people with obscene wealth are universally evil. It’s based on a very simple principle. Imagine Superman. Literal Superman like in the comic books. He sees a person falling from a building. Of course in the comics he will save them. What if he didn’t? What if he just watched them fall? He could save them, but he doesn’t. What then? You only have to look at the other comic books, Spider—Man for the answer. With great power comes great responsibility. When you are that wealthy, you have the power to change society with a word. You could bribe all the US congress and institute universal health care. You could build homes for all the homeless. None of them have done this. You might say hey, what about Bill Gates and his helping with Malaria and promise to donate everything? Ok, so that’s Superman who saves some people from falling buildings, but also watches plenty of others fall. He sure is taking his sweet time. If he was sincere he would already be middle class because he would have used his vast power as quickly and effectively as possible. If the other billionaires are diarrhea, he is still poop. In the entire history of humanity not one obscenely wealthy person has used the powers to the fullest to improve society to the maximum of their abilities. Yet, I argue they have the power to do so, therefore they have the moral responsibility to do so. The fact that they don’t makes me comfortable judging them to be evil.
