The rich more worthy? This is obviously true in a capitalist system to get rich other people have to buy your stuff and not buy other people's stuff they buy your stuff because they are free and like it better and have determined that it increases the quality of their life how would you like to live in a society where people entrusted with raising your standard of living we're not rewarded for doing so and therefore did not have any interest in raising your standard of living. This is why 120 million people slowly died in the USSR and red China. You need to learn humility before God and before rich people and before Republican capitalism. yes they are more worthy or worth more because other people have decided that by buying their products over any other products that they might have bought with the same money do you understand now?I admire success. Only liberals admire failure.
It has nothing to do with being scum. It has to do with your inability to become one of those scums. If you did have the ability, you would do it in a second as any one of us would.
I could never understand this jealousy of successful people by the left. Tell me why are wall street bankers scum, and not actors or actresses, Apple and Microsoft computers, sports figures and Hollywood? After all, they make just as much money (or more) with much less education than wall street bankers.
Yeah, this is the funny part. It's a worldview thing I guess.
I am so far from jealous of these people it is unbelievable. You think like Trump "I am rich, I [think] I'm successful, ergo I must a nice guy and everybody must like me ergo everybody must want to be me".
No. It doesn't work like that. Wall St types are just leeches.
What do Hollywood types give us? Laughter. Sadness. Scare the shit out of us. Entertain us. Oh, and if their pictures or shows fail, they go down the gurgler. Just ask Dana Plato, or Erin Moran, or any other failed star whose life has ended in the gutter. Who on Wall St went to prison after the GFC? None. Who still kept their bonuses? And what do they bring to the table.
You somehow think that if somebody is rich, they are somehow more worthy. A better person. Somebody worth admiring. Some are. Some aren't. One of the most famous poor people I know of is Mother Teresa. She is worth more than all the Wall St leeches put together.
I admire a lot of rich people. Buffet. Gates. Spielberg. Winfrey. A whole raft of people. Don't mistake my disdain for that middle-aged bonds trader worth a couple of hundred million who has given not a single cent to the betterment of humanity, all the while living in a 10-bedroom mansion when only two people live, as me not liking success. I love success. I just don't follow it blindly, or believe that being rich = hard work. Trump hasn't worked a day in his life...he makes money of his father's good fortune, and nothing but a loud mouth braggart who has given the world nothing but gauche, over-the-top gold-laden casinos and shitty reality shows. And if you want to admire that, good for you. I'm not buying his snake oil.
