I'm increasingly thinking that they are right who suggest that wealth accumulation is a sign of poor mental health and maybe even a psychiatric disorder. (Cf those people who hoard newspapers in their homes).
#wealthline could be a diagnostic or at least a reason to investigate further.

Boo @lednaBM An excellent concept, #WealthLine! I come to the discussion from the perspective of supporting my elderly dad in care. So, his #WealthLine needs to be sufficient to pay for his care. I suppose if he dies leaving enough of his wealth to leave me an inheritance, the #WealthLine as applied to me could then be discussed. I think I'd apply it to myself the same as to my dad, being sufficient to pay for my care in old age. This would be moot if the US provided an old age safety net.
Ok folks.... I'm going to try to create two hashtags.
The #PovertyLine is obvious to everyone. Nobody should fall below the poverty line!
The #WealthLine is the new concept we must push everywhere in media, politics, economics, etc. Nobody should be allowed above the wealth line, Nobody. And, if you're afraid of the #WealthLine , then you're selfish and not really interested in a more equitable and sustainable world.
Let's push this concept, folks. Especially, let's push it on our politicians!
