Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
A blunt, profane rebuttal to the old saying about money's moral danger. The speaker implies that criticism of wealth usually comes from those who lack it. It's a cynical, class-tinged joke rather than a serious economic argument, delivered with dismissive confidence.
