You always hear people saying that the poor want to take from them or live off them. What is wrong with wanting help when you see so much wealth around you? Why, if we are a christian nation, do the rich resent this so much?

I'm not going to speak for all rich people. And I'm not rich myself. Most of us aren't.
But I think that some rich people think that those who are poor just choose to be poor, instead of realizing that people can just fall on hard times and lose everything. So, it makes some rich people think that poor people are low-lifes.
Just like I believe that there are good and bad in all religions and races, I believe the same about the various income classes. There's good and bad rich people...there's good and bad poor people, and everyone in between. Examples...
Good rich people...those that fight for others (like maybe a civil rights lawyer who has access to make changes in the system, winning cases, working with govt, lobbying), doctors that stick to their code of ethics
Bad rich people...greedy, corporate CEOs we've heard about on the news, politicians that have become corrupt (republican or democrat)
Good poor people...hard-working, struggling working class trying to make ends meet with their honest living, low income people who honestly have disabilities and would only ask for help because their disability is valid
Bad poor people...those that refuse to get a job or do anything with their lives, abuse the system and lie about a disability to get SSI or welfare and then stay on it

No No . The rich loves the poor ! The more poor other people are the richer they look , so they love it. For many rich people (not all), their wealth is what identifies them . "That is what the are" . So the more poor people in the country , the better for them. They also get some sort of euphoric self righteous kick out of seeing others struggling to pay for the food. The more people that starve the better, that's just the way they are.

I think it is the other way around, the poor hate the rich. the rich help the poor best by creating jobs, not by giving money to the government so they can give handouts. The only thing the government should hand out is temporary assistance and education expense.

I dont think the rich hate the poor as much as the middle class. Many in the middle class mistakenly believe that the poor are the reason they are not rich. Its the rich that make things hard on everyone else, not the poor.

wow thats a toughie...i concept about this plenty in the previous lol with wealth you could deliver about the substitute you choose to verify in society, purchase friendships, and youd under no circumstances conflict through. human beings will continually recognize your call even if or not they prefer you or no longer. and do you recommend hated with suggestions from many or all? if I have some tremendous close friends and relations then i dont care what everyone else thinks. even if...in case you recommend hated with suggestions from ALL and everybody on the earth then ill say poor and loved. one among my well known songs is "youre no one 'til someone loves you." i imagine wealth is rather major and im no longer one to shun a greenback yet once you've each and every thing and no individual to percentage it with...once you need to video reveal your lower back whenever you bypass outdoors because there are indignant mobs desiring you to die and if the merely company you save is that made from empty relationships and fake human beings then i dont imagine its properly worth it. optimistic your call wont be immortalized or pronounced on newspapers and such issues even if it is going to live on in the hearts of those who love you. also in case you fall on misfortune and choose help the wealthy and hated will maximum likely be laughed at and left to starve and conflict through at the same time as the loved and poor ought to have human beings giving them extremely foodstuff the following and there and settee or 2 to crash on because human beings will choose to open their homes to them better.

Sometimes the rich think to much of themselves, and no one else.I think they shouldnt hate to much because they are being judged by some one powerful.
