I don't wealth in general, I'm not advocating general poverty, but in our final CRITO paper I am attempting to assail wealth's inevitability and more importantly it's moral desirability. Disparities in wealth may well be necessary for our our current economic system, but wealth necessarily causes immoral decisions to be made and thus I hope to prove that we should attempt to at least criticize personal wealth if not eliminate it. That last bit isn't in the scope of my paper (I can hear a collective sigh of relief).
Some reasons I think hoarding personal wealth is immoral is because it stops the flow of capital that could be spent improving general productivity and life quality, it enforces class stratification, it is structurally opposed to equality from birth (due to the huge advantage it confers onto those who are born into a wealthy class), and it is fundamentally corrosive to democracy by arbitrarily giving private interests unequal power to order public affairs.
Tell that to the house of the Rothschild's haha, if having too much wealth is inherently evil then their family is satan incarnate.
