I don't want to be rich.

I don't think most people do. I don't mind working, and i don't mind working hard.
 
All i really want, is to be okay. To be able to pay all my bills without sacrificing something else and having a panic attack. I want to live in a nice place where I feel secure. I want to be able to eat good, healthy food without having to sacrifice because canned chili is cheaper than fresh brocolli. I want to occassionally be able to do something fun, like go on vacation or buy some new clothes or see a movie in 3D at night.
 
It baffles me the uncompromising greed of some people, some corporations. Why in the hell do you need 10 billion dollars? It's that adjective that really gets me, the uncompromising part. That's the part where you allow others to suffer, knowingly, so that you can make that extra 10 billion dollars which, as discussed, you don't really need. Reading articles about Goodwill and Walmart makes my brain hurt. How do these people sleep at night?
 
Then, there's Costco.Why isn't everyone doing this? Why are people consumed with the idea of having it all, at the expense of others having nothing? Quite frankly, even though this is going to make me sound like a communist, I don't think any one person needs to make any more than 1,000,000 per year. That's it. You would have to get stupid and wasteful and extravagant to legitimately spend anymore than that. No one needs a 15 bedroom house sitting on 100 acres. No one needs a private jet. And stuff like this and also this  is just straight ridiculous. 
 
 
If the CEOs of the world would slow their roll and think about other people, we could all live comfortably. What would be so terrible about that?
