Not envy. I'm comfortable with what I have.

I'm not saying that's the limit either. However, it's not right that generation after generation of a family can have such wealth that the only reason they work at it is to deny others increasing theirs. The excessively wealthy have no need to bias society and its laws. A multi-millionaire only needs to work to keep themselves busy, which is fine. Thing is, they don't need to be paid for that. If it was the norm that people understood that it might arguably give them more value, not less.

But some people thing that's envy, I guess. It's not, but whatever.
