[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought the article was really interesting because it gets to the odd stigma of making a high HHI, which is partly why I believe everyone wants to call themselves middle-class. We've demonized rich people, so many have trouble identifying as one.[/quote] No, I think it's more that as you have these HHIs, you associate more or see more of how the Other OTHER truly rich live and it makes you feel like you are not there. You always compare yourself to the people who TRULY have it, which will always be a layer above you. [/quote] I think its this: that the rich secretly know that their lifestyle is indeed shameful. That's why they pretend to be "virtuous" middle class people. Deep down inside, they think driving an old honda and wearing old clothes can purge them of their sins. They think it is a sin of behavior, and not a sin of lack of empathy for people who happy if they can eventually afford to get an old honda.[/quote]
