First off, my work involves a lot of fund raising and rubbing elbows with those that are prime targets for being fleeced - if these people weren't smart enough to know how to avoid it. Wealthy people do spread their money around, but in a controlled manner and very targeted. Do I agree with all their decisions? No. But cash can be used to help build and expand businesses, keep private schools affordable for lower income families, provide space for storage of food pantries, etc. Wealthy people who are willing to contribute to these causes are not the issue. They don't deserve confiscation of property and rightful bank accounts any more than anyone else does.

Greed, when it becomes an all-consuming pathos (as in the case of,say, George Soros) involves more than just money. It's when it becomes the means of destruction of society and part of a power grab is when it's a problem. That's why I say that this is a statement against greed. There's no thinking of how it will effect others as human beings.

In my life, I have seldom known people who had wealth that didn’t spread it around. I’ll bet Soros spreads a lot of his money around. It’s just that we don’t like where he chooses to spread it.

I’m just not inclined to give anyone, and I man anyone license to decide who is greedy and who isn’t.

If a person has wealth and keeps every penny for his own use, that’s a personal choice I disagree with, but this is a nation where he is free to do that if he so chooses.

God forbid this nation EVER turn into a place where he can’t, because you and I will be the next ones they come after.
