[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of us worked hard in school, spend years in college and graduate school and put in long hours at work. It isn't that hard of a formula.

Also, your anger is directed at people who are WORKING for money. Maybe you should redirect it to people who either aren't working and living off the system or those not working and living off trust funds. [/quote]

This is just not true. The majority of these people were funded by their parents either through paying for education, help with rent, car payments, assistance with first home down payment, trusts or similar. The idea that the 1% is "working for money' is laughable. They were gifted funds and hardly seem to realize it. That's what OP is on about. [/quote]

Who paid for OP to go to elementary, middle and high school? Did she pay for herself?[/quote]

Property taxes? But you seem to miss the point. The vast majority of the super wealthy in this country did not pull themselves up by their bootstraps. They were given a leg up by their parents. While potentially OP - and many others - are busy digging themselves out of student debt or trying to save on a downpayment for that first house (or heaven forbid paying down medical bills), Daddy Warbucks' kid is earning interest on the gifted trust or other disposable income s/he has on hand that isn't going towards the crazy expenses that most normal folks have in this world. The rest of us normal folks will never catch up with that interest that you've got in trust for the kids and grandkids. And telling people just to "work harder" is purposefully misleading - because if you didn't have to pay your way, you never worked for it. [/quote]
