I could not agree with you more! Why begrudge people with money? They worked for it and invested it wisely. There is nothing that need stop a pauper from becoming a prince, it is simply a matter of making the decision and relentlessy focusing on bringing the "dream" to fruition.
quote
The idea that the wealthy harm the less fortunate and exacerbate their poverty is the perniciously self-destructive ideology of covetousness. It serves nothing and nobody to look to another man's success and proclaim him not deserving of his wealth, if he has earned it in the market place through voluntary interactions. On the contrary not only has he legitimately earned his wealth, but he is thoroughly benefiting his community by his having acquired it.

Even if material "wealth" were redistributed equally, in would be just a matter of time for it to be distributed once again in a way reflective of the who had a wealthy mindset, a wealthy work ethic.
quote
The wealthy create wealth.
end quote
I don't have much money. I don't have all of my material wants fulfilled, however, I have a wealthy mindset and am in the process of creating wealth.
There is no shame in that and everyone, as far as I can see, is free to do the same.
