Why can't we hate the rich?

[ljm2002]

59. I don't "hate the rich"...

...and will even admit that, like most people, I would like to become one of them.

OTOH, I do hate the entitled rich, who think they are better than others, and who would begrudge a little help for those who need it. Those people I detest with a white hot passion. There is a good percentage of the rich who are like that and who would sacrifice their "lessers" to promote their so-called principles that are really just a mish-mash of Randian ass-hattery and simple self-serving. So I do hate a good percentage of the rich, not because they are rich, but because they are assholes -- and worse, they are assholes who work systematically to make life worse for 99% of their fellow humans. Which makes them a thousand, a million times worse than the standard issue asshole who merely fights when drunk, or gives the finger when you take too long after the light turns green, that sort of thing.
