Okay. Yes, there are criminals on the planet. And many of them take money because they're greedy.

But you cannot infer from that that people are greedy assholes. That is a most basic logical fallacy. The vast majority of wealthy people come by their money honestly.

I have known over the years many, many people in the wealth category you're talking about there -- and only one or two who came by it less than honestly. It just isn't typical, which was what you suggested.
