50 cent's free to support trump for selfish reasons like no sixth yacht this year, and people are free to hate him for selfish reasons like wanting more healthcare so they die less

but i would say the poor's selfish reasons have a lot more moral weight than the rich's

Between somebody being allowed to have their money and somebody else being allowed to take that person's money, I generally side with the person who the money belongs to in the first place. "Oh, I don't have much, so I should be entitled to your money!" is hardly the basis of a good moral argument. And bear in mind that 50-Cent came from reasonably poor beginnings, he grew up poor and was raised by his grandma. Instead of taking from others all his life, he made something of himself.

That and he recanted his support of Trump as soon as he realized how unpopular it made him.

He's supporting trump just to keep his money. Trump could burn the world down but as long as the unnecessarily rich can keep their money, it's ok.

Who are you to say what is or isn't necessary? Just because somebody can live on no income -- beyond what's needed to pay taxes -- doesn't mean that any more than that is unnecessary.
