i notice alot of hate toward those with money?

Question

why is it that alot of you ppl seem to be jealous of those that have earned their money , but yet i never hear you complain about your hollywierd elite that support your canidates,and im not refering to trust funders .

so my question is if you have a problem with others being rich, go to school get a better job , or many other ways to get ahead , why dont you stop blaming others for your short comings?

why dont you ever talk bad about the movie star or the hollywierd ppl in general ?

steve i use to feel the same way about pro athletes till i figured out why

take the nfl they put out a product which is football, and to have foot ball you need players , so if the players are making the nfl a bucket load of money why shouldnt they get a cut of the profit ,

im sorry thats to stephen not steve

i worked up from a box cutting job to owning a buisness and no one was going to stop me its about doing it and stop complaining , the victim card doesnt work

Answer 1

I've experienced their wrath.It all boils down to jealousy.I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't.If I donate my money to charity "a" I'm ridiculed for not supporting charity "b".If I donate $2000.00 of MY money,I'm denigrated for not donating $4000.00.Let me tell you what I'll do;I'll keep MY money and let the non-working leeches of the world figure out how to support the causes they favor on their own.Can you say sheltered Bahamian bank account?

Answer 2

A good point, though it depends both on the extent of the wealth, and whether or not that person hypocritically proselytyses about giving tocharity, as the very wealthy frequently do. I more or less gave up giving to conventional charities when I saw them increasingly advertised by multi-millionaires.
You are right to point out the hypocrisy of thoseyou address, however. This may be another reason: "I want his money, I can't have it, therefore he must be the baddie."
Personally, I disagree with the accumulation of vast sums of money when there are still people starving, etc, but this is more the fault of governments than individuals. theefore there is only one other reason for any of my own hate on this matter: the calibre of the people concerned. Many rich people are great, but there is something a bit sick about a nurse being broke, while some loudmouthed tart or moron goes on TV, shags their way to the front pages, and becomes filthy rich - a situation affording not only greater privelage, but also influence in society, as the British government's recent donation scandals illustrate.

Answer 3

I am in the upper middle class. I don't hate the rich. I hate those who are rich that didn't have to work hard to get it. I hate the fact that a football player can get a 10,000,000 dollar contract for a few seasons of playing a game. I hate the poor person who complains about not having any money or anything, but has never done anything to improve. I respect the person who grew up with nothing, and worked hard to become successful - without stepping on others.

Answer 4

Because a lot of people got their money at MY expense. Like my taxes paying for expensive foot ball / baseball stadiums so these rich players can make big bucks for playing a stupid game. Which has NOTHING to do with getting a good education. Also I would have more money if I did not have to pay such high taxes that goes to every one else.

Answer 5

The rich, no matter who they are, are entitled to benefit from their hard work (or the hard work of their parents! There are also a lot of misconceptions about the rich (and famous)

Those who love the dem stereotype of the Republicans being the "party of the rich" (leftovers from the days of FDR)
Had better think twice.
New research conducted recently indicated that over 60% of the wealthiest 5 % of Americans=the truley rich and super-rich...are democrat Party supporters!
So...whose Party is made up of elite snobs???? LOL!

Answer 6

what you are really describing is class warfare, and i am all for it.
the war on the middle class is being fueled by the rich, any time taxes need to be raised, they say it is not fair to single them out that it should be spread out ,everybody paying their share.
but what is fair about 5% of population controlling 95% of the wealth, the game is rigged in their favor.
in the end, when the country needs to be rebuilt, where will the money come from?
the poor have no money.
the middle class will be gone, and as for movie stars that is just another right wing ploy to divert you from seeing the truth.
the rich will do and say anything to keep their money and the republicans are only to happy to be there lap dogs as long as they keep voting their way, or is it the other way around?

Answer 7

I wouldn't call it hate. And I think the reason they don't lump people like Warren Buffet and the "hollywood elite" with old money spoiled brats is because these people are more likely to support having their own taxes raised. They actually want to be taxed at a higher rate then the rest of the population.

Progressive taxation means those who can best afford it, the rich, get taxed at a higher rate so everybody else can pay lower taxes. Those tax revenues are then used to further level the playing field through education and job training programs.

Answer 8

it is not hate it is rational criticism which they are are no longer used to. apparently, you could no longer shine a easy on Christianity and make contact with it for what it is, except it is advantageous. otherwise, it is taboo to declare something undesirable approximately it and that they're going to play the sufferer. I provide thumbs right down to particular Christian responses whilst they tell somebody with a extreme concern to easily pray to God, discover God, or some thing like that. i'm a Atheist, btw.

Answer 9

I have no problem with people who earned the money ethically and legally. In fact, my personal goal is to be a billionaire like Bloomberg (he had to work hard and work smart to amass that wealth) or Buffett.

Answer 10

Since we live in a plutocracy instead of a meritocracy now, accumulating significant amounts of wealth isn't about your education or how hard you work. It is all about where you came from and who you know. Wealth is in the hands of a concentrated few and the only thing the average worker really has access to is the left over peanut shells.

Answer 11

I don't hate people with money...just people who equate money with success...I have a job making $35,000 a year working with developmentally disabled kids and adults. I am happier than most of my friends who make twice as much...life is not about money and power. it is about the affect you have on the lives of your fellow man. Sean Taylor made millions, but will be forgooten after a few months. Ghandi lived in poverty and is remembered decades later.
