Why Do Poor People Disrespect Rich People, Yet Demand Respect From The Wealthy

Not lengthy ago, I was in a city in California, close to Los Angeles, recognized for its rich and privileged crowd. There was a gentleman going on and on about how the 1% did not care about the 99% and how they had been sub-human. I respectfully disagreed with him and however, he would not quit to even here my counter points. I believed to myself, with an attitude like that - no wonder he is poor and destitute, or so he complained he was. Let's speak.

Lastly, soon after about 15-minutes of listening to this man's diatribes and how he'd been an Occupy Protestor, and how the wealthy and renowned did not care about poor men and women. I stopped him and asked if I may possibly ask him a query. I just asked him;

Do you care about the 1% folks?

He answered with no hesitation; "Hell No!"

And then I told him; "Effectively then I guess you are even."

He was taken aback and attempted to grasp that notion which simply deflated his complete argument. You see, when individuals complain about the 1% they are in fact attacking a minority group - soon after all 1% is a minority, a smaller minority.

In the United States we have the suitable to chase our dreams, to pursue happiness. If so then rich individuals who have accomplished that happiness have a appropriate to keep it, and we ought to be tolerant of that suitable. We never ought to respect it, nor do they must respect these who are poor.

There was an exciting survey taken in Illinois, they asked persons how substantially of a tax price ought to millionaires and billionaires spend. They highest percentage of answers in that survey fell involving 80 and 90%. Yet, when these similar persons in the survey have been asked; "If you win the lottery, how a great deal need to you spend in taxes?" The majority of the people today answered amongst ten and 15%. Is not that merely astounding?

Why is this taking place?

Properly, it has substantially to do with human nature. People today, in particular lazy individuals want to operate significantly less and get extra. Probably, this is correct of all biological systems. It really is far more effective to get some thing without the need of getting to expenditure power. Okay, however that is not fair, and in this Fantastic Nation we are supposed to be all regarded as equal below the law, so why must rich need to spend a greater quantity in taxes so people today who spend no taxes can get far more totally free stuff? The reality is they should not should spend a larger percentage.

Yet somehow the socialist message seems to be permeating among the victimhood masses. Clearly, what I've described this attack on the minority Is not fair and it goes against every little thing we stand for. So, I ask that you, my reader, please contemplate all this and believe on it, since when I listen to such speak from people like the gentleman I encountered, Properly, it basically make them appear so weak and pathetic, however then again, Probably It is that attitude that kept them down or produced them poor in the very first spot.
