Is it just me or are people totally selfish thinking they have the right to own 1 or several mansions and millions of dollars worth of cars? When you see people everywhere that cant afford an operation or food or etc etc etc.....

My opinion: Having extreme wealth is just morally wrong.
I guess we both support "welfare capitalism". There shouldn't be an extremely wealthy class. Instead, they should be taxed more, so that the poor and elderly can have a chance at life, instead of having the wealthy be able to buy all these unnecessary luxuries. The rich are often born from the rich. The poor are often born from the poor. Somehow, we have to make things right in society.

It's not. When my family moved here, my dad said we weren't going to buy a large house, only as big as we need it and it needs to be small enough that only my mother, my sister, only one maid and I can maintain it. He drove a economical 1996 Geo Metro for the first six years we lived here. My mother drives a Nissan Sentra. Instead of getting an SUV or a Corvette for my highschool graduation present like my friends, I got a very pretty new Honda Civic. It's not fancy but it's new, it works and I like it way better than a Mercedes or anything else they could have gotten me. I'm cool with that because I'm not going to use up any more resources than I need to. I have a retail job and I work for my money. I sponsor a child out of the money that I make on my own from this job.
I'm glad my parents are smart enough to save money and they realize the difference between material things and things that really matter. No matter how rich I ever get, my kids are always going to learn their place in life and they are all going to drive Honda Civics as long as they live under my roof.

It is OK with me. Most people, if they could afford to, would do the same. Do you have any way of knowing if the person with the mansion and car gives to the poor? You are thinking like a Socialist. Socialism does not work.

The people you are talking about have either earned their money i.e. pop stars, actors/actresses etc or they were lucky enough to have been born with s silver-spoon in their mouths, you live in a capitalistic society not a communist one - which one do you want seriously?
If your are from the US of A thought that was the American dream - that everyone has the chance to do what they want to do

I fail to see why they need all those rooms or cars - you only use one room at a time and drive one car at a time. I prefer a small cosy place with everything i need and a reliable small car. They should use their money to help people and animals in need
