Essentially how do the rich keep on getting richer whilst the poor keep on getting poorer. Surely in a civilised society the rich should sacrifice a few of their fast cars and big houses so that the people who slave 12 hours a day in their sweat shops can eat.

if i were rich i would be happy with the money i allready have. i would put it in a bank and live from the interest.

Isn't that the ideal way, plus as long as humans have greed they'll desire more than others.

No, don't put it in the bank. Inflation is higher than the interest, which means the real value of your money years later, even though it has increased, will buy you less than what you could have, if you spent earlier, or invested elsewhere.

i could just keep the million euros and live my life. i would invest into something trustworthy or i could invent something usefull or i could write a good book to get more money. but i can work in a normal job to have enough to lve a normal life too. who needs money if you can not eat? who needs money if you can not get real friends with it? who needs money if you can be happy without it?
