To say that wealth has a bias to self-sufficiency is a figure of speech. Wealth is inanimate, and it has no thoughts on the matter at all, one way or another. Wealth doesn’t care—the diamonds don’t care, the gold doesn’t care, the stock portfolio doesn’t care, all the tools on your workbench don’t care. And when I say they don’t care, I mean they don’t care whether you sin with them or not. To say that wealth has a bias is really to say that men and women have a bias when we look at them in relationship with the wealth around them.
