>>But that doesn't make you right. It doesn't make you noble. It doesn't make you insightful.

Nor does it prove your premise, any more than my loaded question about your beating your wife proves anything. Basically it's impossible to discuss if people keep using sophist ad hominem conversions, e.g. to an unseemly story about unhappy wealthy people wanting more, more, more. Perhaps I should respond by constantly diverting to your exploitation of the poor every time you eat a mouthful of food you did not produce yourself, but that's equally useless sophistry and I can't be bothered.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
