I'll bet there are tens of millions of people in this country, and a few billion people worldwide, who think anybody who has a few thousand dollars to spend on cardboard pictures has "too much money," and that morally, that money should go to taxes or charity to feed the hungry.

But, of course, people who like to play the class envy game only advocate redistributing OTHER peoples' wealth.
