At what point does a person get to spend their own money the way they want to, without someone else thinking they're greedy?

Spending your own money is not the issue, having so much you can spend so much so frivolously when most people can work hard 9-5, 7 days a week for 6 months to earn as much. Can't you see that?

Don't you see the injustice of it? I guess not, or by now you'd have got the point. I guess thats the result of living in a country where it's long been acceptable for people to get stinking rich on a lucky break and then raise themselves above the rest of humanity.

That carrot that you call "getting lucky" is what provided the incentive to build most of the world we have today. Without that carrot you'd have to make do with a stick.

The carrot's a better incentive.

It's not much of a carrot if we all know we're never going to get it!

What would be have to do to earn so much? Working would never do it. Robbing a bank would probably not even cover it. Winning the lottery might, if you like those 14 million to one odds.

No T_Bone, this isn't bright shining capitalism - its basic class-division greed shown by Britain's self-declared upper class twat plutocracy who have been sucking the life out of us for far too long. And they whine about welfare and immigrants!

@Fade

Make sense, for once. Making nebulous statements isn't really doing much for your credibility. I'm hardly going to put my foot in my mouth falling into logical traps that don't have any logic!

And if I decide to work 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 15 years, so I can get myself out of that $25.000 a year category, I am then supposed to feel guilty and give away say everything above $50,000?

No point in considering it. You'd certainly never be able to earn the millions the average Harrods socialite owns, no matter how smart, resourceful or savvy you were. You are born into that kind of wealth.

Oh, and before anyone responds with, "How did self-made millionaires get their money then??" - I don't consider that to be earning. Earning is working. Period.

There are too many Sam Waltons and Bill Gates in this world. All born poor!

And you really think Gates works for his money?

There are two ways to get money legally: exploitation of the workforce, and hard work. The first will always get more money. But if everyone was like that, nobody would have any money at all.

I don't accept exploitation and monopolising as earning.

And just where does the hard working guy that ends up making a mint, turn into the exploiter?

About the part where he can earn several times what the average worker can doing only a bare minimum of work. Or about the time he starts keeping his worker's wages lower than inflation to increase his own profits.
