April 23, 20179 yr I don't dislike wealthy people but I don't understand them. If I "had money" there wouldn't be a stray animal euthanized in my part of the state, however big that could be with what I had.
April 23, 20179 yr I don't despise the wealthy. Bill Gates, for example, I have an enormous amount of respect for him and his attempts to give back through money and actions. How about POTUS Trump? Rupert Murdoch? The Koch Brothers?
April 23, 20179 yr How about POTUS Trump? Rupert Murdoch? The Koch Brothers? Well...the first two are terrible examples of philanthropists. I have more respect for the Koch Brothers even though I disagree with their politics.
April 23, 20179 yr I don't hate the wealthy at all. I wish I knew more wealthy people. I do hate the wealthy that looks down on others because they aren't wealthy. I also hate the wealthy who gets their self worth from their wealth.
April 24, 20179 yr Well...the first two are terrible examples of philanthropists. I have more respect for the Koch Brothers even though I disagree with their politics. I thought we were just talking about the wealthy. :idunno:
April 24, 20179 yr So the general concensus is that if wealthy people use THEIR money properly they are OK?
April 24, 20179 yr Some of it is jealousy, but for me, it's when wealthy people don't know how to treat people and think they should be "above" others in some way because they have more money.
April 25, 20179 yr What is wealthy? I am serious. I know several self made businesspeople who have net worth north of $3 million, some $15 million. They are hard working common people and meeting them you would not know their net worth. So how wealthy are you talking about.?

Well, if you earn $25,000 or more annually, you are in the top 10% of the world’s income-earners.
April 25, 20179 yr Wealthy people do not bother me. Greedy people bother me and greedy wealthy people bother me even more.
April 25, 20179 yr Meeting Clyde changed my view on the wealthy. They're not all bad people, in fact, some are quite friendly.
