The short answer: Yes.
The reason:
This kind of question, the ‘either/or’, is what most of us ask when we are very young, inexperienced in/about life, or cultured/conditioned to think this way throughout our lives.
What we need to be able to ask is ‘Is there a better way?’
Better yet, we need a better way to ‘see’.
We need to see that we are not living in the small boxes anymore like our ancestors had to, millennia ago, where the needs of the one ‘could not’ outweigh the needs of the many.
We have reached the stage in human evolution wherein eithers and ors are not the only answer/solution to a problem/barrier/difficulty.
If not before, we can now, think multi-dimensionally about solutions.
On Planet Earth, this means that there does not ‘have to be’ majorities vs minorities for everyone to live well, safely, healthily, and for all to be educated.
Our parameters no longer have to be the loss of one for the benefit of the many.
We have the ability and resources available for everyone to have what they ‘need’ — the sufficient basis for living life.
The barriers we have not yet been able to breach are ones that consist of selfishness, closed minds, narrow mindsets and myopic perspectives.
These are now mankind’s greatest threat to the survival of our species — and consequently, the survival of all other life forms sharing this Planet with us (or trying to, anyway).
These barriers lead to incorrect thinking and self-centeredness, which is then followed by hostilities and the superiority vs inferiority cancer.
This inability to play together fairly affects everything from our food chain and industry, to education and healthcare, housing and clothing, to supply-and-demand.
Monopolies (The Tiny Few at the top of our enabled food chain) have stolen our freedom to live peaceably, well and healthily, by making extreme wealth Public Enemy Number One.
And they have accomplished this by means of stealthily promulgated propaganda and appealing to the most vile and pernicious aspects of human nature, our ‘self’.
I am NOT saying accumulating money is inherently bad.
I AM saying it is inherently wrong for one, or a small few, to have everything, and everyone else little to nothing.
Poor stewardship of our planet by the industrialization and commercialization of our food supply/chain, water/air sources and resources, healthcare and education are literally killing us all.
Poisoning our planet and accelerating an artificial climate change that has the potential to become a planet-wide E.L.E.
The short-term profit over long-term sustainability, security and surety has become homo sapiens unjustifiable excuse.
If we can’t win by competing, we’ll just beat it out of whatever and whomever within our reach. Savages vs. Civilization.
We’ve have indulged the winner-takes-all mentality until it has become the now-ingrained expected attitude.
The rule of the wild, ‘only the strong survive’, is an ineffectual and narrow-minded way of thinking for an intelligence capable of sentience with the ability to act upon its own awareness and intellect.
We are a dying species. And we are taking every other life form with us in the death throes of our selfish defiance of balance and order.
This is why it is ‘morally wrong’.

“One hundred years of delay have passed since President Lincoln freed the slaves, yet their heirs, their grandsons, are not fully free. They are not yet freed from the bonds of injustice. They are not yet freed from social and economic oppression. And this nation, for all its hopes and all its boasts, will not be fully free until all its citizens are free.”
