It’s a few humans with OCD that manifests as financial hoarding. They have more money than they or their descendants could ever spend, and yet they are driven to accumulate more, despite the obvious deleterious effects on society and the world.

If they were hoarding cats, or old newspapers, or rusty cars, etc., we’d step in, get them mental health help, and clean up the mess.

But since it’s money, we praise them for their success, and make it easier for them to indulge their mental illness even more. Sometimes we even GIVE them more money for free, just because it makes them so happy.

It’s time to stop indulging these lunatics. Take their businesses and fortunes away, we paid for most of it anyway, and put these maniacs in mental health facilities where they belong, at least until they have internalized a healthier attitude toward wealth, and their fellow citizens, and want to use their gifts to improve America, and not exploit it.
