Anyone who doesn't like it is free to leave. Or, raise themselves up. Being rich is not a bad thing. In fact, one can do quite a lot of good for others if they are "rich". I certainly have for many in my family, and I'm far from that $500,000 mark. In fact, Thank God for rich people, otherwise, who would we all work for? I never worked for a poor person, because by definition they have nothing to pay me with.
Being rich isn't inherently bad, but sabotaging the poor and working classes is, and that is exactly what the rich have done for the past 30 years. Don't go all masking that with "who would we work for if not for rich people". You should just call them master if you think they are doing you a service of paying wages that people can't survive on while keeping them financially strapped in a state of servitude that they cannot escape from.
The working classes know how good the times have been for the rich, and how terribly hard it has been for the not-rich, and that it is the rich that cause the financial hardship that disproportionately effects the poor. And that is why guaranteed there will never be a president elected again on the premise of trickle down economics.
9 out of 10 rich people I meet were born into it. I know just one self-made rich person, and even he had the privileges of an upper middle class life growing up.
“If it’s a policy that benefits the rich, then it doesn’t have to be paid for, should last forever and is good for America. But if it benefits the poor, we can’t afford it, should end it as soon as possible and it will destroy our nation from within. Because if you give money to people who don’t have it, it corrupts them. But when you give it to people who are already rich, they have a money immunity built up already. Handouts don’t hurt them. Money is the root of all evil for people who don’t have any.”

It is weird how so many people on internet forums know tons of rich people and know details of the source of their wealth.

It is weird how people on internet know all these people who are driving expense cars buying lobster with food stamps and people who are lazy and do not want to work.
As I stated, all the wealthy people I know, save one, was an heir. There is nothing to learn from these people as most of them didn't have to work for their money.
