In any event, anyone who believes that money is not a necessary prerequisite for (conventionally) moral behaviour is invited to try and live without it for a few weeks. On the contrary, one of the most effective ways to promote moral behaviour in a society is to increase affluence. (A universal secular public education system helps too.) But the fact is that if we have an open society which values diversity, then some people in it are going to do things with their money that you or I don't like. It's called freedom. Get used to it.
