[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone getting focussed on the taxing the rich to death bit...which I disagree with, but no one addressing the out of touch piece.  DCUM folks are willfully out of touch about how the rest of society lives.  And they fail to recognize that hard work in and of itself does not translate into making loads of money.  Nor does it mean that you are smarter than people making less money than you do.  Lots of brilliant physicians, scientists, professors making a whole lot less than Big Law and overpaid government contractors.  Just acknowledge **that**.  You picked a profitable career but it does not make you more hard working/smarter than others.  I think some people just need to justify the obscene amount of money they make.  [/quote]

Americans in general are “out of touch” with the way the majority of the world suffers.

And first world countries are “out of touch” with the way people from developing countries struggle.

[b]But it doesn’t mean people aren’t allowed to dismiss the challenges they face in their own loves with other people who have similar challenges. Or that they aren’t allowed to celebrate their successes with people who are striving for similar success. All human experiences are valid, so maybe just allow people space to have their own lived experiences[/b].[/quote]

Where did I say otherwise? No one is saying well off people don't have challenges.  [/quote]
