re: Why Do People Hate "The Rich" So Much?

Karl Marx wasn’t even alive during the French Revolution and it was basically because it sucked to be poor.

Some of hating “the rich” is jealousy.

Some of it is believing it’s impossible to get rich without extraction of labor for less than it’s worth.

Some definitions of “rich” vary wildly from others. For example, compared to the proverbial “starving child in Africa”, everyone in America is rich beyond measure.

Personally, I believe there is a point it becomes “too much”. Taylor swift, bezos, et al. couldn’t spend all their money over the course of multiple lifetimes. When I think of “the rich”, I think of them. Everyone’s frame of reference is different.
