[quote=Anonymous][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 completely, except I use a different word than "piss."    I[/quote]

Agree completely and like the word piss. [/quote]

PP here.  On second thought, I don't know that I agree with this post. Reason being, most people I know who have their own "rags to riches" stories - appreciate how to treat other people.  It strikes me as peculiar that you are so angry.  I understand rich people being oblivious and ignorant (stupid, really - emotionally and socially) because they have such a truly sheltered existence - but I expect more from people who know both sides - certainly, I don't expect this level of anger. Instead, I would expect humility and gratitude - not in a "pushover/doormat" DC way, but in a "knowing how to treat people better" way.  As for the rich people I know, they treat people better, because their family has a legacy to protect. [/quote]
