They never sacrifice anything, they always get their way, never have to work 2 jobs or struggle in any way, never have to work for anything as kids, are very rude usually, and when you work with them they try to screw you out of your money. Also, a lot of them dont pay taxes while I had to work 2 jobs just to make sure I could.

I wish I could just have all the money i needed and everything I ever wanted and not have to worry about paying rent or buying food or how much longer my car would last

Are you sure they never had to? Not every rich person was born into a rich family.

I can only speak from my experience but literally every single rich person/family I've ever known has been comically privileged and out of touch. Several people I went to high school with are now working important jobs in media and finance solely because their parents got them a job straight out of college.

This is why the rich love capitalism so much. They get to choose who succeeds personally.

Socialism the collective gets to choose, meaning a vote. They hate that shit.

They also convinced a majority of people that voting doesnt work lol

1.

5. I wish I could just have all the money i needed and everything I ever wanted and not have to worry about paying rent or buying food or how much longer my car would last

1: You don't know that
2: You don't know any of that and while money opens a lot of doors getting everything and making no sacrifices is not true for most. A lot of rich people make sacrifices to make their money and so on.
3: Not all rich people are even rich as kids for one, and do have to work for their future fortunes and so on. I don't think them being rich is what make the majority of the rich rude, and not only is that not always true, but of course they're going to be trying to make as much money as possible when they know how and want to keep up with their fortunes.
4: Also, while it may be common for the super wealthy to have to not pay as much in taxes due to loopholes and being able to afford people to find them ways to pay less into the tax system, they still have to pay taxes.
5. A lot of people wish this, including myself. I'm not even trying to stand up for the rich in this post. I'm just saying, almost everyone, if not everyone wishes they could do better and have more money, along with less life problems solved by being wealthy, TC.

Not all rich people are bad in any of those ways. Some people are worse off than others, and I sure know I wish I had the kind of money and wealth where I not only wouldn't have to worry, but could also help people.

Long story short, please don't generalize like this TC. Not all rich people are anything like this. I also agree with things like the rich should be taxed more fairly and without loopholes like they're meant to be, and taxes more in general along with other policies to help even out the wealth disparities by quite a bit.

However, that doesn't just mean we should attack every rich person without any basis and assume that they're terrible, greedy jerks and so on.

To be Rich you need to:

-Maintain a good relation with God.
-Maintain your position in The Society.

Just that is not doing nothing.

I don't understand the hate boner people have for the rich. There have always been rich and poor people throughout human history so it's not like it's anything new, and on top of that life has never been better for the average person than it is right now. For most people having a roof over your head and three meals a day is a given and for most of history that hasn't been the case. Your average peasant from the 1600's would have gladly switched places with any of us.

https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/2871-how-most-millionaires-got-rich.html

A 2019 study published by Wealth-X found that around 68% of those with a net worth of $30 million or more made it themselves.

Further, a second study by Fidelity Investments found that 88% of all millionaires are self-made, meaning they did not inherit their wealth

We may not have to work two jobs but we still work harder than you.

Once upon a time I did however work two jobs to break into the six figure income range.

Budget your time well and its quite feasible and very profitable.

Eighty-six percent of todays millionaires did not consider themselves wealthy growing up (self-made), while only 14 percent said they grew up wealthy (born-wealthy)."
This is self reporting not an analysis of the source of their wealth.

I dont have any issues with rich people who actually earned their money and arent classist assholes who cheat the rules

Trump is the perfect example of the rich people I hate. He never worked a hard days work in his life, born into wealth, got a million bucks for his 18th birthday, inheriting his dads money, dodged the draft then shits on POWs, looks down on regular people even his own supporters

Hes the worst kind of person

Trump claims hes a self made millionaire. Thats why you cant believe millionaires that self report that they are self made, that 86% number is horseshit.

Ok well the alternative right now is just going with whatever tickles tc's confirmation bias

I'll take self reporting over that unless youve got a better source to share
