In response to Re: Re It will show them (Arthur)

You express yourself well; I understand.

My views about wealth are not 'middle of the road'.

I cannot sit at a dinner table and gorge myself while someone else at the table does not have anything to eat.

I believe that is more than a metaphor; it is the core of morality. Once every human has food, housing, healthcare and education, then, and only then, can any human justifiably have more than he can eat, more beds than he can sleep in, plastic surgery... more money than he can ever spend.

Enormous wealth is immoral in a world where children still starve.

Equitable distribution of wealth is no longer untenable. It is a choice that we should make. And people do not generally peacefully divest themselves of wealth.
