We praising for the bare minimum now?
If we're going to assign moral value to people based on their wealth (a classic logical fallacy), then I think you need to take a look in the mirror.
The global median income is $2,760 annually. You sleep like a baby making likely 10-100X that, all while people are starving to death.
What are you doing to help the starving poor with your vast wealth? Are you not also morally bankrupt yourself, using your own logic?
While you're joining the current bolshevik revival that the populist left is trying to spin up, I just hope you remember the kulaks (the land-owning peasants) and many of the Serednyaks (the middle class peasants) also got murdered in the revolution. I'd keep any claims of moral superiority to myself if I were you.
