I waited and I waited for help but all the rich people just stared at me and kept eating.

129. not all wealthy respond this way

however, there are those who are cravenly, ruthlessly bankrupt human beings. an elderly woman, a friend-fellow bridge player, told me a fascinating story about her life. she was a child during the depression and her father was a very wealthy businessman. she told me how she was dressed by servants, she didn't lift a finger. her father was friends with people like ford and other industrialists at the time. when her father's business went south, everyone of those friends just disappeared. some of the very wealthy are like hyenas, abandoning the weak or attacking the vulnerable. you could be best buds one day and the next, just because you're not in their sphere, be nothing. so, what's this about class war and class identification? they've been doing it for a long time.

people that were key figures on the wealthy obtaining their wealth, sometimes are thrown to the curb, like the colonel (have to look up his name). anyway he invented the oil drill, located oil for the oil boys; and when he became too disabled to do his job he asked for financial assistance. they turned their backs on him. of course when he died an embittered man making millions for these users, they collected money for a statue. yet, they couldn't help him when he was alive. also, goodyear died impoverished after being screwed by both american industrialists and french.

in some cases, these very wealthy individuals didn't invent shite, they stoled the inventions; they didn't single handedly build the railway across the country, labor did it in impossible conditions; they didn't brilliantly invest, they were part of the insider group or scammed some poor sob or created the situation, like the mortgage debacle and bet on our misery. not all, but there's enough immoral sociopaths out there, that it is noticed.
