Re "There's plenty of well-off, rich, or even wealthy people on this board who work as hard as you, give as much of themselves as you do, and even vote against their financial interests."

There are plenty of well-off but public-spirited citizens everywhere, especially here on DU. One of them (I have no idea who because it was done anonymously) even gave me my donor star during a pledge drive. The OP was not referring to those people, and neither was Hello Kitty. That does NOT mean we aren't allowed to generalize to prove a point, and without being forced to smooth the ruffled feathers of every single member of the oppressor class who takes offense at the generalization. I'm poor too, and I also get pretty damn tired of that stuff.
