Since the future is a mystery, isn't the goal of acquiring wealth totally reasonable? Why the antipathy toward the pursuit of wealth?

We can learn about the past.

The present is self evident.

The future, however, is a mystery.

We can only try to prepare for its challenges, and hope we are ready.

One tool with which we can face the myriad unknowns and challenges of the future is wealth. Money can not buy happiness, but wealth can deflect plenty of misery.

Most people realize this, and some are driven to aquire the insurance that wealth may provide.

And yet, such reasonable folks are vilified, particularly by our current political culture, when in fact their preparations for the future are virtuous.

Like the story of the Three Little Pigs.

Why do people have such antipathy towards a reasonable pursuit?
