Then why don't poor people despise multi-millionaires and billionaires? nt valerief Sep 2012 #51

Because they believe they are better. And besides, it's dangerous to stand up to those above you. freshwest Sep 2012 #56

Most likely, those black people had jobs. BTW, the Escalade meme is from Boortz. Not original at all freshwest Sep 2012 #3
