Letter: Wealth accumulation should be considered a virtue
(01/13/03 5:00am)
Emily LaDue writes that we should value "equal opportunity, and environmental respect over exorbitant wealth." I do not. Nothing in the world is more sacred than exorbitant wealth. Vast sums of money are accrued through effort, thought and production. Opposing wealth means opposing work and creation, the means by which man lives. Exorbitant wealth gives us all something to aspire to, and in many instances, jobs. Hating money means embracing death.
