(1 post)I don't hate rich people for being rich, I hate them for letting their obese wealth turn them into Narcissistic, un empathetic, unsympathetic, selfish, self-righteous Humanoids, not to mention the fact that it Could have something to do with the way Americas economy has grown out of recession for the past seven years, but the vast majority of that growth has gone to the wealthy instead of working people? So why bust your A$$ on the job to only get nowhere, That is why the impoverished numbers in America are growing! It Could have to do with the fact that the stock market has increased vastly since 2007, but wages have not only stagnated, theyve declined substantially relative to 1970 levels? It Could have to do with the alleged collusion between the chief executives of Silicon Valleys largest companies Google, Apple, Intel, and
Adobe to keep salaries down by not poaching employees from one another, as youd ordinarily be able to do in a free market? It Could have to do with the fact that a spate of young, venture-funded entrepreneurs have taken to publishing openly their disgust and distaste for those less fortunate than they are? Or that wealthy tech company founders and VCs have chosen to spend their money on massive, ego-massaging projects with little public benefit, like yachts and Americas Cup races, while complaining about every attempt to put some reasonable reinvestment into the government-funded infrastructures from which they have benefited since day one? So if the rich in Amorica want something creative to do with their money, how about
taking it throwing it into a big pile on their bed, light it on fire and jump in.
