Article could have been much shorter:

“I hate freedom, individual achievement and prosperity.”

Communists, the lazy and reactionaries always blame achievers and pretend the “filthy rich” are what holds everyone else back.

Bill Gates attitude is his problem, not his wealth.

Just like the gun isn’t the problem, the user is.

I have come around to the thinking that wealth and prosperity begat indulgence and insanity, and it is simply an aspect of human nature that cannot be avoided.

Tytler had it right.
