How Much Wealth Is Enough?



American Capitalism embraces the concept of wealth.  Wealth is defined as the abundance of valuable resources or material possessions.  Having an abundance means you have more than others.

At every level of wealth in our capitalistic society, while you may be wealthier than others, there are those that are wealthier than you.  The desire for more wealth is like crack. You can never get "enough".  While some work hard to gain wealth, some have found it easier to steal to gain a higher rung on the wealth ladder.  Those in power have legalized their thievery and call it investment banking or managing hedge funds. 

It seems to me that in American Capitalism, no one is happy with their rung on the wealth ladder.
