One time my brother was bashing Americans for eating big, gluttonous meals, while others in the world are starving. We happened to be eating out at the time, having just finished a big expensive meal (that my greedy, weath-accumulating dad was able to pay for).
Somebody asked my brother "Didn't you just eat a big, gluttonous meal?!" ...and he replied, self-righteously, "Well, I could have just had a salad."
He could have, but he didn't. It's easy to say that other people should have something taken from them, but nobody wants to give up their stuff.
