    So your telling me that the gov't is corrupt?

    Wow, stop the presses.

    It's important to note, that between business and gov't only one has the ability to pass and enforce law.

    The thing I hate the most about some rich people is how they assume all poor people are lazy and unwilling to work.
    The thing is, the world has changed. A lot of rich people inherit their fortunes from ancestors who worked really really hard to make what they did, yet today if you work really really hard you barely make enough to feed yourself let alone save up an inheritance for your children.

    You have people working over 9 hours every day who cannot support their families. Times change :/

    Rich people who come by their wealth via legitimate means (as in, not just rent seeking or playing the system, but actually producing something) I take no issue with - in fact I think they're good role models.

    You complain about the government but refuse to say anything about Big business and their practice of buying the government to tell them what to do.

    Those wielding the tool is the one you should take issue with.
    Although I do submit that those in power should be the government.

    I HATE poor people.

    When people hate the rich, I just think they hate the fact they won't be rich. Jealousy is a rather immature trait.
    The wise wolf who's pride is her wisdom isn't so sharp as drunk.

    You can find dicks everywhere, no matter if they are poor or rich. Same with good people.

    Well, not trying to be too snarky. The Batman has been pretty cool about debate lately.

    But that slip was a bit to much to let go.

    You're awfully quick to tell people how they should spend their money to make "society" better. So what do YOU do to make society better, besides suggesting rich people, who earned their money, be taxed to provide for "society"? Do you donate to charities? Time and/or money, or do you sit there and think about how to spend other peoples money?

    Normally MMO-C forums are not allowed to be used as a random 1 post smurf-account's personal blog.

    But when the topic is bashing wealth (which enables the pro-socialism crowd to regurgitate their agenda) its permitted and lives for 20+ pages.



    $100 says I cant make a parody post changing "i hate rich people" to "i hate poor people" and go 24 hours with being banned.

    Any takers?

    Personally, I know some rich people who are the most arrogant people you have ever met. They think they own the world and everyone in it. I also know rich people who are extremely nice and would give you the shirt off their back. Before I was financially successful myself, I was about to lose my car and my house. A rich friend loaned me money and said pay me back whenever.
    Sounds like the poor are bitter haters. You'd do the same if you were rich and they earned it.

    Define "rich" please.
    To a homeless person, someone having a refrigerator box might be "rich".

    I Think that depends entirely what people consider to be rich. But yes when people have so much Money that they literally cant spend it other then give it away or more or less buy insane amounts of stuff and then give that away. And that they still go on "I want moar GIMME"

    Evenso i Think that just because people have Money to spare at the end of the month they are not rich, or even when they go abroad a couple ot times a year.

    It seems silly to hate people just on the principle of being rich. I hate certain ways people act, which excessive wealth can exacerbate the problem, but that's them, not the money.

    Yet to the people who cannot afford such luxuries, they would certainly seem rich.

    Well whats funny is these rich people have probably donated more than most of the salty posters here will in the entire life time.

    "Well... well... they didn't donate enough!"

    Don't know any really rich people. But I know a lot of upper middle class people. Most don't come from money, and are down to earth people. A few are arrogant and have a terrible need to show other people how successful they are at everything. But I know lower middle class people that are assholes too, so I guess it doesn't really matter how much money you have, at least in the upper/lower middle class spectrum.
    Mother pus bucket!
