The rich get richer: immoral or natural selection?

Question

The rich get richer: immoral or natural selection?

Answer 1

Minimally, one would have to know how they came by their 'gains'...

Answer 2

Natural selection.  The rich have made choices to sacrifice and save money instead of giving into materialistic wants.  After you save enough money, it becomes easier and easier to make more money through interest rates.

Answer 3

I think it is an has been a law from the beginning of time.

It's just the way things are.

I say Natural.

Answer 4

I think its wrong maybe not immoral but definately wrong. The poor work their butts off and make no money and the rich do nothing and get richer. The poor as a whole are more likely to give to charity the rich people.

Answer 5

It is generally accepted that it is easier to get rich if you are intelligent.  If you are rich, you will be more successful.

Of course, if someone can get rich, they will keep getting rich.  Nothing odd about that.  On the other hand, the majority of poor people appear to be people who've failed school and generally put little effort into what they do.  They are unsuccessful.  Go figure.

Answer 6

I wouldn't call it immoral or wrong by any standards but I don't think it is natural selection either. I think that if someone accumulates a fortune they are obviously good with money and you could expect that to continue. Maybe it is natural selection?
