As long as it's like that I’m cool with them giving back. They can give back all of it plus their lives for interest and overdue fines.
Say you win the lottery tomorrow and are an instant billionaire. Do you now deserve to be assassinated?

No one, short of a conscientious plague-bearer or pedophile, nihilist or mentally ill person, would advocate that.

I can agree with this tbh. I've always felt this. Nothing wrong with being proud of what your work has accomplished either. And even better if you do good with that success.

If they worked hard for it, yeah. Who am I to judge someone for working towards a successful lifestyle?
