Moderately rich, yes. Extremely, no. If you’re a billionaire, you did something wrong to get there and you should be taxed more

What are we calling "extremely rich and powerful", anything over 2 mil in liquid is unethical if youre not actively doing high levels of philanthropy imo

"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money" (Matthew 6:24, NIV).

Yes, in the sense that i believe that extremely rich people could STILL be extremely rich if they didnt exploit their workers/paid them a fair wage

to be extremely rich you would have almost definitely had to screw people over, exploit workers, etc. but regardless of the source, i feel if you have an abundance of resources and don’t use them to make the world a better place, you’re not a good person. maybe not a bad person, but not a good one.
