[/QUOTE]I have no problem with other people being rich. It's the super-rich category that troubles me.how has other people being rich affected you adversely?
Having been born at the peak of the Great Depression, to parents who were rescued from abject poverty by FDR's WPA program, and having personally observed the growth of the American Middle Class, I am deeply resentful of watching it gradually and methodically withered away by an insular category of pathologically greedy, deviously scheming bastards who are best described as modern-day Robber Barons.
While I was fortunate enough to have benefited from the largesse available to the middle class during its growth stages, the late '40s through to the early '80s, I am witness to the changes, such as wage stagnation, the insidious acquisition and hoarding of the Nation's wealth by the One Percent, and the methodically devious elimination of protective legal regulations -- and I have three married daughters and five (almost six) grandchildren to be concerned about.
We are looking at the first generation in recent history which is not better off than its former. And if you have children, or plan to have them, you should be concerned as well.
So you haven't been affected by other people being rich, you have been affected by freedom and demand that freedom be removed.
