Because rich people make their money off the backs of working people. They leech off the working man like the welfare douches leech off the government. Rich people are evil.

A well adjusted person has “ life is not fair “ drilled into them by their parents as a child. This way they start in GRATITUDE for what they have instead of resentment for what other people have. It’s like a basic prerequisite for a happy life. To rage against basic human nature and to have entitlement in your heart is a form of slavery. It cripples your development. You end up worshipping the materialism you claim to loathe.

Well said. It seems most people judge wealth based on comparison, rather than what they actually have.

Outside of drug addicts and the mentally ill, there are no poor people in the United States in ACTUAL terms.

There are certainly people who are RELATIVELY poor.

The girl in the OP would be rich in most countries and is likely top 5 percent IN THE WORLD in income.

Men who wear watches and own smartphones are the same sorta late 80's dipshits who wore belts with suspenders.

That article is sloppy drunk with cultural Marxism.

I generally don’t run across those types of articles because I mostly live in a traditional bubble of reality. Wherever I run across it, I fight the good fight and mock it with much derision.

I’d imagine that it’s hard to escape that attitude living in certain areas of the country.

One would think NOT doing something would fit right in with Millenials. Takes zero effort to do nothing and doesn't interrupt cell phone gaming and snapchat.

And there it is!

Economic ignorance and irrational resentment, fueled by an inner self-loathing, fused into a ball of self-righteous hate.

Don’t kid yourself. This guy is dangerous.

It's looking at rich people as some sort of zoo animal to be observed and studied (and ridiculed).


You should just do like me and work towards being the zoo animal studied rather than being the one studying.

I don’t give a shite what people say. I just tuck my head and grind out a living.

It’s a scary time to be successful in this country because you’re going to be scrutinized for it. It’s crazy how people in a country like ours can be so stupid

We used to look at rich successful people and want to be more like them.

A growing percentage of our population is looking at them with jealousy and hatred and want to rob them.

I'm definitely the zoo animal in this scenario. You should see my cable package and sectional.

Not all but some of your small business owners are like this. We had a plumber come give us a quote for $23k to fix some piping under our raised house and clear out some old crap that’s been under the house since built in 1902. He rolled up in a brand new GMC truck with all the bells and whistles. We ended up going with him out my my discretion because he friend of a friend. The only time I actually saw the guy was when he gave us the quote and when he came and picked up the check. The project took 4 days stretched out over two consecutive weekends and only one guy did all the work which was a non English speaking gentleman in an old 2 door Honda. A plumbing supply company delivered the pipes to our house. When he was finished he left all the scraps and dirt along our side yard for me to pick up. I wonder how much of that $23k the worker actually saw?

or they don't have their smartphones on them all the time and/or don't want to have to pull it out and look like they need to be on their phone all the time.
