    Greed is greed regardless if you have money already or not. And also you’re a lair. You have a price.

      Weird assertion to make. I don’t feel that my life would be improved by having unimaginable amounts of money. Would I like enough to comfortably retire? Yep. Would I trade someone’s life to retire right now? No. Other than that I wouldn’t really care to have more money.

      This is why rich people are psychopaths. It isn’t normal to put greed over peoples lives. But it’s also what the US mentality encourages which is why you think I’m wrong.

        Anyone’s life? What about a billionaire. You get all their money, to do whatever with. And they drop dead.

          You’re asking a different question. If I were to want them to die, it wouldn’t be because I want their money. It would be because I view their lives as a moral negative which causes incalculable harm.

          If obtaining their money was a side benefit of their death, I would spend almost all of it promoting and enacting humanism. I really don’t need what they have.

            I’m just establishing that you’re willing to sacrifice someone you dislike.
