Poor people are under constant assault for being lazy but how productive are the Paris Hilton's and Jena Bush's of the world?

Picking stocks is not hard work and that's where many of the wealthy earn most if not all of their income. Investing is the rich man's equivalent of gambling. You pick a stock, if it does well, you win. If it does poorly, you lose. Now there are some who do their research and listen to speculation or follow trends in the market, but it's all just one big gamble at the end of the day. The REAL kick in the balls to the poor and middle class is that income earned from labor is taxed at 35%. Income earned from stocks, dividends or capital gains is only taxed at 15%.

Yes!!!
I'd love to see Jenna Bush and Parison Hilton work a 12 hour Wal-Mart shift, have to come home, make supper, clean the house, do the laundry, pay the bills, and take care of 2 kids without a nanny!

They are. Isn't that what doing right now? If anyone agrees with you-and I do agree that some rich people are lazy-then rich people are accused of being lazy.

Because our society puts "them" on a petal.....If we stopped being interested in what "they" are doing then maybe we as a society would stop filtering money to them....People such as Paris are always under the microscope....don't you get it...It is US as a society who PROPS these people up...They don't do anything but feed our quest for fodder... But I quess it's the easiest way for people to do things...Blame others for everything that goes on in this world.....No one can take personal responsiblity can they????????????

Actually they are under constant assault too. I hear people say all the time that they are good for nothing, and "famous for being famous".

They are. I've know plenty of lazy rich people that inherited their money.

Because they don't "need" to not be lazy.
