Do you dislike people who are rich?   Even if they worked for it?

I don't begrudge entrepeneurs for their wealth, especially if they took personal risks to get their businesses started.  They are necessary in a free economy and if they play fair they deserve to be rewarded.\n\nI think executive pay at established companies is obscene, however.  These people take no risks and when they screw up they are richly rewarded on the way out, while the peons are lucky to get two weeks' severance pay when they're downsized.  They always rationalize it as a function of supply and demand, but the boards have allowed themselves to be hypnotized into creating too much demand.  It's a mass mania, a lot like the tech stock boom of the 1990's that created excessive demand for stocks.  People who take advantage of this and then treat their employees like dirt are despicable.\n\nIn general, though, I have a lot less problem with how people earn money than with how they spend it.  Conspicuous consumption is a cancer on US society.  It's bad for the earth on which we all depend, it corrodes relationships, and it destroys people's spiritual lives so they're more inclined to corruption or outright crime.  In a lot of so-called Christian circles this teaching is unfashionable and even denied, but it's abundantly clear that the Biblical prophets and Jesus warned that people who were rich and selfish did so at their peril.  \n\nAs for Bill Gates, unlike most modern successful entrepeneurs, he is  a model of philanthropy, so I don't personally begrudge him his wealth.  I disapprove of a lot of Microsoft's business practices but that's another issue.

I feel the say way.  I do not hate them.  I just don't think anybody who disrespects others and commits a crime should get away with anything.  They should be punished, not rewarded.  And yea, they should go back and wait in line and file the proper paperworks.

No, because nothing was ever "granted" to me.  I have had to work jobs that made me miserable just to get by at times.  Sure, a lot of Americans did grow up in rich families and never had to work for anything, but a lot more do have to work for what they have.

Not working and mooching off of others, spending their money foolishly and not saving, Looking for the "easy way" , and thinking that if you get into these pyramid schemes you are going to become RICH I believe half the time you have to know someone LOL!!!\n\nJust work hard and save, you don't have to get into some fancy crap to become wealthy.

If it was quick and easy, everyone would do it.\n\nGetting rich quick is not easy.  Easy work won't get you rich quick.\n\nThe highest-paying jobs are the ones few people can do, or want to do.  Do you have a unique skill that very few others have?

Having known people who are rich and some who are not so rich, I don't find the average rich person to be any sadder than the average poor person. Maybe even slightly happier as they don't have to worry every day  how they are going to feed their kids or pay the doctor bills. \n\nI find that the perception that rich people are sad to be largely in the wishful minds of those who covet their wealth.\n\nBy the way, why is this question in the Math section? Are you trolling?

I dislike Hilary Duff but i think your house is richer. Your friends house might be big but Hilary has a lot of money.

no, because the majority of people always want more than they have and the way to get more then you have is to enlist capitalism.  For example, if you are smarter than Juan and you work harder then Juan, but you both are paid the same, you will be upset and not like the system. You want to be paid for being smarter and working harder.  That's capitalism.  Unfortunately, we don't live in a pure capitalist society and it's about who your parents were, what connections you have, who is in power, all of which skew capitalism.

it would never work. If we had all the same, no one would collect the trash or do similar jobs, why should they.\nBut I do think that could be a better balance, if the Rich gave more. I ask I much money does one need to be happy, how much is enough, a million, 2 million where does it stop.\nI'm not poor or rich and still I help and give to the ones worse off them me, so if the rich help more this would be better world.

When upper class people think they don't have to move for anyone they think is "below" them.  Example...walking through a fine foods store.  Happened to me..I was walking down an isle and these snooty upper class rich people would NOT move when I was trying to get through.  They did it in a manner that pissed me off big time!  They walked an purposely bumped into me an made and "ugh" noise.  I didn't bump into them!  So I went to the next isle to get my food and they came down that isle.  I stood there and stood there and stood there with my cart.  I wouldn't let them through.  They refused to go back the other way.  I just stared at them.  Finally they walked off.  Other customers were laughing.  I mean...this couple was uptight as hell!

Nope, I'm not rich and I don't plan on being rich. Money is the root of all that is evil and wrong with the world.

Nope, never had that happen. Poor people tend to stay poor. Rich people tend to be stingy!

Yes I know one which always work and work for every one and it is hard work. Surprisingly this is the only scheme to get rich or whatever you say. There is no substitute for hard work. Even if some of the scheme like lottery and all promise to be so but it is not as everyone realize sooner or later.\n\nWould recommend not to fall in trap of any of supposedly better than hard work since till date it has been proved over and again then there is nothing like that.

Sadly, yes....\n\nLiberty for... the rich, the powerful and only if you were born an American.

Never if you wish to live your live with all your dignity and self respect intact. What good is all that money if you sold out who you are to get it? Selling themselves out like that is why so many so-called succesful people are such haters.They can't stand themselves,so how could they like anyone else

Generally, people are concerned more about THEMSELVES than they are about anything else. That means until you are sure the rent is paid, there's food on the table and the kids are okay, you don't pay much attention to anything else. \n\nThe rich obviously have money and with money comes power. The rich use their money to influence political agendas that benefit them, with little thought of the "everyman"\n\nAs far as WHY we entrust them, I don't believe we do.  It's just that most of us don't know how, or are too lazy or self-interested to make ourselves and our opinions heard...
