I can see both sides here but will say they are being punished for being successful in a system some don't like, I don't think that's fair, either. In this system they were renovating and probably shared their wealth with plumbers, electricians, landscapers, etc., etc... The more you have showing is a show of you not keeping your wealth to yourself but actually spreading around to help others in their work or buying used stuff to help others out financially because, at least for now that's how the system benefits people. If you have a load of money in the bank and don't spend it, how does that help anyone else?

This is just something that I think some people miss.
