[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in poverty and now have a HHI approaching $400k/year. What rich people don’t understand is that the main benefit of having money is that you don’t have to suffer many indignities simply because you have the financial resources to choose other options. So store clerks are nice, teachers don’t belittle your children, your boss is less likely to proposition you. People prey on weakness, and the poor are weak because they are so reliant on everything working out just right. My ambition has nothing to do with wanting things. It has to do with wanting to be able to tell someone, at any given time, to piss off. [/quote]

Agree.  However, it goes in two directions:  one the one hand, poor people *could* be taken advantage of, but on the other hand, poor people are largely more street smart than spoiled people - so poor people might be more apt to know (very well) how to have the last word.  I think there is a lot of underestimating that goes on - then, when poor people (the ones who are street savvy) react, the spoiled people are taken down harder than they ever expected.  Sometimes, spoiled people just can't buy their way out of situations.  Poor people don't divulge their secrets as much as spoiled people think. [/quote]
