Is there such a thing as too rich...

So we were having this conversation the other day about money. My sister-in-law is finally decided to get into politics and the bleeding heart that she is, has decided to be a Democrat. So I'm trying to help her understand why the Democrats are only better at talking about helping poor people, but when it comes down to it, they do the same thing or in many cases less to actually take care of the poor. I made the excellent point that we all should be taking care of poor people and not putting it on the government to take care of them.

I think she got my point, but at the same time, we kind of landed on this question, "Is there such a thing as too rich?" I am very much a person who says that everyone can do whatever they want and that if making money floats your boat, go out and do it. But that's doesn't answer the question really.

The question basically comes down to how much is enough before you just give the rest of it away or do something to try and help people. So a few months back we went to Hershey Pennsylvania and we learned that Mr. Hershey sold his caramel company and made 1 million dollars back around the turn of the century. He then took the entire million and created what we know him to be famous for, the chocolate part. That seems okay too right because he used it to create loads of jobs for people and basically created an economy for this rural part of Pennsylvania. 

I think that the answer is yes, there is such a thing as too much. That said, I don't think I could ever be the one that said, "You have too much."

Out.
