That's small change compared with the time I used to spend resenting.people who had more than I did.

not too resentful nemo, because I realize that they are no happier than the rest of us. But , rather a feeling that somehow this must change to fix society.

If they were happier than the rest of us, because of their money, would you resent them then? That's doesn't sound right.

I like the filthy rich. They are the most productive members of society generating jobs. How they spend there money is of no concern to me just as how I spend my limited resources I am sure if of no concern to them. And that is the way it ought to be.

dontread,

Well, speaking as a member of "society" m'self, I must say that opens a rather large can of worms. If we're going to change society, then it seems only fair to ask who "we" are, who "they" are and what "our" agenda is. Once it gets down to specific cases, the line between the rich, the poor and the lazy but covetous might not be as clear as you think.

If they worked hard for it they should do whatever they want with it. If it was handed to them.then they should hand some to others. My hands out if they want to share.

Yikes that is a scary philosophy. If that logic ruled the day if I decided to give my children a gift somebody could take a chunk because somewhere in the world somebody wants a piece of it.

Not good. I should be able to do what I want with my money and others should keep their stinking paws off it and mind there own business. If you didn't earn it yourself you have no right to it.

ahhhh beso...THERE is the rub...define "EARNED" :D

Suffering through parent's meddling :-)

"Too much" money, according to who? Should we judge these people on what breed of dog they have next?

wouldn't it be more costs efficient to have one of the already paid servants sit on the steps and take pictures OR better yet, get their lazy butts up outta bed, take off their sleeping mask and watch themselves for the culpret -

Geez - there's a lot of hungry kids and kids that needs mounds of medical attention - to bad dog crap on their condo lawn is such a priority in their life. it is their money they can spend it how they choose - but I would HOPE that if it was me, that I could find better stuff to spend it on than DNA testing on dog poop.

:)

Yes, instead of spending their own money to resolve a neighborhood dispute, they ought to spread it around, make it fair, right Comrade?

At least with a rich person it is their own money and requires no contribution from my taxes :)

I could turn in an (ex) in right now who makes more than all of us combined. It's sickening. But I feel the higher court in Heaven will take care of what's happening that I do not want to be involved in.

I really don't see a issue here. This is a free country & if they earned it what's the problem? A little judgmental don't ya think Don?
There are many rich people out there that give to charity's & set up foundations.

On the other hand the people you describe just have to much time on there hands or just have issues in general.

They can burn it for all I care. They got theirs, I have what little is mine.
Class distain, envy or hatred never ceases to amaze me. If someone wants to by a small deserted island and run around it nekkid - they can knock themselves out. As long they don't run around in my sand box.

Here's a reference to someone that thinks certain people may make too much money: http://www.mediaite.com/online/obama-i-do-think-at-a-certain-point-youve-made-enough-money/
I don't happen to agree with that theory. How much is considered too much? Where will you set the bar?
