[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are a lot of thin people who are like  lot of rich people. A lot of rich people tell themselves they worked really hard and made tons of sacrifices and got to where they are on our own so no help for anyone else. They're super offended at the idea that someone might get a benefit that they didn't.

Some thin people are the same; they feel like they've sacrificed and worked hard and done everything they're supposed to do to be thin and they're outraged at the idea that not only is another person fat,  but at person doesn't heat herself for being fat and is " making excuses."

I think both of these mindsets are really dangerous and counterproductive to your own mental health.

Other people's lives do not diminish your own. [/quote]

This is a great example. [/quote]

No it isn’t.  Those with wealth have the money they worked hard for through ‘tons of sacrifices and no help from anyone else’  taken away from from them to fund the programs and benefits for those without wealth.  They aren’t super offended that someone might get a benefit they didn’t.  But they may be offended that more and more of their income will be taken away from them to fund those benefits- depending on political climate.  They will be heavily funding free health care,  free college, guaranteed income for all, and the various other social programs that are being proposed.

You are letting your politics ruin your argument: this is not at all what I said and you are creating false analogies.

But even so, you are making my point. Because they (me--I am a 1%er believe me or not) had it hard, some people want to make sure it is hard for others.

Guess what? I do not give one whit if someone gets an easier path than I had and I do not care if someone else is fat and happy when I have been thin and unhappy.

Because I am not unhappy anymore because shaming other people and making life harder for them does not make ME happier. I do not look at other people's lives for validation on how mine is going.[/quote]
