When someone tells you they got rich through hard work...

[Triana]

74. I understand your sentiment

It is a many-faceted and nuanced topic. This graphic refers, I believe, to those snooty rich who demean, deny, disrespect and disregard the hard work of those who either work for them or those who - through no fault of their own - find themselves in financial dire straights even though they worked hard and played it smart. Those people are told they're "lazy" when that is far from true. They deserve a decent day's pay for a decent day's work and a safe working environment and healthcare. They deserve a decent job. Just some basics. But there is a certain arrogance on the part of some of these rich - the Koch Bros for instance (who inherited their wealth) - that others who for whatever reason find themselves in trouble financially - don't deserve a decent life - even if/when they worked for it. The graphic refers to those who got up the ladder - but then want to pull it up behind them, own it, lock it away so that no one else can use it. And who sneer at and despise those entities and people who helped them get to their station in life - ie: their/the workers, the public services they use or used, etc.

That's who it refers to.
