it doesn't do that. most business owners and home owners are not above others nor do they cause other people suffering.
some people are abusive and exploitative, yes. that is regardless of their financial status.
And who judges all of this? I work in medical trials. Is my job causing other people to suffer because we have them go on experimental treatments that might not improve their chances of beating a disease? is my job evil or something because it's not feeding the homeless? according to some of my ex girlfriends, my job was causing them suffering because I wasn't making enough money to buy them expensive things like Audis and go on trips to Bali ... are they right? They also got very angry when I suggest that they if we lived together we should split costs, even when they made more money than I did, and their reasoning was that because I'm male and I'm advantaged in life therefore I should be giving them my money and I should be doing everything I can to make more money, and give to them because they deserve it more than I do.
