[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]99%, but I can't believe I have somehow been equated to greed and corruption in the news.  I work a million hours a week taking care of patients, and I make a good salary, as does my husband.  It actually feels terrible to see that the other 99% somehow all of sudden thinks we are terrible people.  I know I shouldn't care, but I watch in amazement when I watch the news and see people protesting - and realize they're protesting against me!  [/quote]

Do you think your taxes should be lowered?  Do you think you're insufficiently honored by the rest of society?  If not, then you're not a schmuck or "terrible people."  Otherwise, you poor, poor put-upon darling!  You remind me of the narcissitic drama queens who complain that "the rich white male is the only person you can discriminate against any more!"

It's a very, very common bit of ju-jitsu for the more self-absorbed members of various over-classes through history to cast themselves in the role of the victim.  "Black people want to end housing discrimination?  Oh, so I suppose *I'm* the bad guy?!?"  "Gays are coming out of the closet?  Pardon me for having a traditional marriage!"

I'm sure this must be very, very difficult to process, but sometimes it's not about *you*. [/quote]
