nostr:npub1ljy7tr67hsc7qxppskp85ddssawagm2g5plhvavntll4alsetxfqaka0ge I don't buy this moral reasoning, because it relies too much on the second paragraph - this suggests that someone who acquires such wealth is automatically bad, even if they got it through genuine means.

This is a little disagreeable to most, but I'd more readily argue that usury is bad for the same reasons dealing drugs is bad - you're selling a product that harms the person you're selling it to, you do so knowingly, and you profit from it.
