My comment was quite the opposite.
Billions of people in the world would consider a middle class Canadian’s lifestyle as “obscenely rich”. Middle class Canadians are materialistic, carbon pigs.
That is why I asked, obscenely rich from whose perspective?
Clearly David Suzuki does not consider himself and his 25M net worth as obscenely rich. From his perspective, that title belongs to billionaires (“billionaires should be illegal”). From my perspective? He fits the bill. From the perspective of one of the billions below me? I fit the bill.
