I understand the reasoning behind the thoughts in your original post. I think it's flawed as I've said but I do get it. Wealth can allow (cause) us to do things that might seem ridiculous to people less fortunate.

To someone who lives in a tent city because they have no choice, it might seem ludicrous to choose to spend a week in a tent if you have a perfectly good house and bed to sleep in.

And to someone who might really want a car, but can't afford one, the idea of a wealthy person choosing to ride a bike to work might seem crazy.

There is another way to look at it however. Just because we are wealthy enough not to have to do some things, doesn't mean we don't benefit from doing them anyway. And maybe other people benefit from us doing those things too.
