> In fact, the richer you are, the more questions I have about how you got it and who got shafted along the way.

What a sad way to live life. Not only because it's untrue (assuming you don't live in North Korea), but it's incredibly dark and destructive.

The fact that you think it's "sad" is a dead giveaway in terms of what you value in life and what you consider a virtue.

[bko]

What do I value? I believe I live in a society where wealth is earned through hard work. It would be awful living in a society where I wrongly think everyone who has something I don't earned it through nefarious means, and there is no way to be an honest broker and create wealth.

This does not answer the question that was asked (and which I also wonder): why would you want to signal that you are rich?

[bko]

For attracting members of the opposite sex and wanting to connect with other people of similar wealth as their values and interests more closely correspond with your own. I don't know if you noticed, but there are cultural differences across socio-economic classes.

Are you pretending not to understand?
