Why do poor people blame the rich for their problems?

Question

isn't it their parents fault for binging them into this world when they could not afford to?

Answer 1

Because no person would be rich if they had not taken advantage of poor people at some point. Use Oprah as an example. She acts like she is so caring and generous but the reality is that she charges huge amounts of money for advertising on her show. Who pays for that? The poor people that have to pay more for their box of Tide laundry detergent. If she really cared about people she would make a reasonable amount of money and live well without taking as much as she can from the common people. Seems to me there is something in the bible that says that is wrong.....

First of all if u could have made more money in another country, you would have been gone..and when most poor ppl refer to blaming the rich, it for the incestuous greed.Ie wall st...It is estimated in 2007 wall st frauders involved in the mortgage market failure between AIG, and several banks and financial inst, walked away with close to 500billion in fraudulent monies, and only one person went to jail..If a poor person walks into a bank and takes $5, hes going to jail for 10years..You have to understand what democracy is..and its not striving to be the only person in the country with all the money..Democracy demands that everyone help each other or you end up with a 2 class society the super rich and the dirt poor and a dictator for a leader. What are u complaining about..with out the working poor and poor their are no wealthy ppl...You definitely can have a hand full of super rich, like here in america where the top 400 wealthy ppl have more wealth than the bottom150million ppl combined.. But u cant have a country were everyone is rich and no poor ppl...Who will buy ur piece of junk widget that cost u 10 cent to make but your selling for a $1...Dude in 2009 the top Hedge fund manager who physically produced nothing made the salaries of 80,000 NYC teachers x 6 years...when is enuff enuff..its not even about wealth anymore its about between rich ppl who has more.. And like the person above is saying..Please show me a working middle class person that reduce their income taxes by donating 20 - 30% of their salary and still survive..Im in a middle tax bracket and i now of no one payin under 20% in tax..or who can afford to hide their money out side of the country. When u get a chance..take look at GM in 1989..the biggest corp on the planet with record earnings, deliberately closing plants to move to Mexico to make more profits, which basically killed Michigan and the auto industry..A company deemed to big to fail..gave america and americans their corporate fat *** to kiss...

Not all people who are poor have poor parents. Contrariwise not all people who have rich parents are rich. Unless your have no independence and live off mommy and daddy your whole life, then things happen. Good things, bad things, that's the real world for ya.

Why do the rich blame the poor for societal ills?

Answer 4

'cause the richer get richer and the poorer get poorer. The rich don't give a hoot about the poor - they just keep kickin' their feet up on their solid oak executive desks while they're on conference calls and going to board meetings. Those with thousands and even millions in their bank accounts can contribute a bundle to help the poor and needy, but they're afraid to let go of their greenbacks - heaven forbid THEY become poor! Just look at how rich the Vatican is. Do you ever hear of the Vatican unloading millions of dollars from it's huge Swiss bank account to help needy people? Never! May want to tell the next liberal that gets elected in the White House to scrap their tax hikes! We can't shell out any more dough from our wallets - Clinton emptied them already!

In the U.S. everyone can either make it or not.Being born poor I would think, would make a person more apt to succeed in life. People complain just to complain.

Answer 10

They blame the rich because they want the rich to have sympathy for them.Like they expect free cable and they haven't contributed to society.I mean the poor people complain about everything.Poor people expect things to be free and cheaper.
