I admire achievers very much, but I have no respect for trust funders and inherited wealth.

People want what others have but they don’t want to work for it.

Jealousy. Also, "the rich" are constantly being made out to be evil by the leftist press.

I don't hate the rich but I hate the ppl who haven't worked for their wealth.

Many people work their asses off day in and day out and still never achieve those levels of wealth.
It is the nature of how the world is designed by those who have those levels of wealth/power.
Also, in almost all cases, people who make statements like yours also don’t have that level of wealth.

The people you discuss in your second sentence are part of the incentive to the people you mentioned in your first sentence.

One word: Envy.

I think a thriving middle class is a very good thing for a country and a society. Unfortunately Biden and the rest of the politicians only seem to care about the top 1% of the country. They are in power to make themselves rich and their club richer.

To some degree. I would think most parents would want productive children regardless of the status they were born into.
I dont hate on kids who get a step up and take advantage of it. But I still have more respect for those who work their way through.

Oh, I don’t have that level of wealth, never will. I do take advantages of opportunities when presented.
I will agree that many don’t get opportunities others do.

So you think that the French revolution and the rise of communism are the same thing?
Posted on 4/12/24 at 7:43 am to Scientific73
Because they're communist leaning, for the most part.

The perpetuated myth that money is a zero-sum game, thus if somebody else has it, you can’t.
Why it’s bullshite is that the US Government prints a trillion new dollars a year, then hands that to the rich. I’m not getting poorer in the sense I have less money, but that money doesn’t buy what it used to.

If you are struggling to feed your family money can definitely solve that problem. Same with mortgage/rent, car payment, getting insurance, or any of a large number of other problems.

Jealousy. Plain and simple.

Its a means to an end, not the means itself. People are corrupted thinking more is always better.
