That's not a statement, final or otherwise. It's a question sans interrogation mark. Money and power are just other words for freedom. A person barred by law from flying home for Christmas is in the same position as one who can't afford to fly home for Christmas.
True happiness may indeed be found in service to others for you and for me, but we have a right to PURSUE happiness wherever we think we may find it. If I help others, it's because I choose to, not because someone like you thinks I have an obligation to. I live by the Golden Rule which means that I attempt to treat others as I wish to be treated myself. As I value freedom so highly, I wish for and work for others to have maximum freedom as well.
