They get to have have time,
Most people have NO time because they have been taught they must PAY to EXIST.So they must run to work and to work,school,home eat fast,go to bed late,get up early to get back to work,because wages are 1970's wages and costs have gone far past the 1070's prices.
The rich don't only get time,they have meaningful time, time to enjoy art,theatre and music,time to go socialize in a pleasant place,(Like huge homes with everything you could want in there,money to entertain and be entertained,and country clubs),without being hassled by mall cops or sales people demanding they BUY something to occupy the space. The rich live in ESTABLISHED neighborhoods not atomized suburbs.They can develop a social life.A social life is built up by having free time to enjoy being around others,do fun or interesting things,have a meaningful relationships.The RICH have made sure many of us are so alone.

No, UGP, you don't have to pay to exist, the government is already doing that for you. Which of course, means you DO have time to do some of these things that require more time than the middle class who work hard everyday because they've been taught they must PAY (for you) to EXIST. But leaving all that aside for a minute, if you had a huge home filled with everything you ever wanted, memberships to country clubs & art museums and private bodyguards to save you from the wrath of mall cops, you'd be happy? Honey, happiness is a state of mind, not a bank account. One of the biggest reasons you're unhappy is you're eaten up inside by envy. How can you possibly figure out what makes you happy if you spend your time seething with rage & jealousy about people who have more than you? Get a job & you can have some of that. Supposedly you're a good artist & you love tattoos. Why not get a job at a tattoo parlor. You'd fit right in and you don't need any formal training, just a willingness to learn & talent.
I hate the rich they always have the means to go places I will NEVER EVER see.They are never without transportation,food,medicine, heat.They aren't late on bills,they have a never ending supply,so it is NOTHING to them and because of the disgusting wealth they have they will NEVER be haunted by debt.
The rich go places I will never, ever see either. Well, maybe on the discovery channel. So what? And I thought you lived in an area with bus service & close enough to walk to some places. When my truck breaks down I don't even have those options & I'm pretty much stuck here. So, in that sense YOU have more resources than I do. Food? Don't you get food stamps? Don't you have Medicaid? Granted you may have to see particular doctors but you CAN get medical & mental care. Heat? Well, this is one of those areas where you have to budget your government check a little better. You don't look like you've missed too many meals so maybe you can adjust your food budget? YOU don't have to be haunted by debt either. Just live within your means.
The rich get to go to quality schools with low teacher to student ratios that have time to challenge them if they are smart and the motive to pass them if they are not.. The school I went to besides being a hellhole bored me to death.And because bullies took their toll on me unfettered by teachers trying to manage 40+ kids in a class, I never got to aspire to anything, I was too busy trying to survive abuse everyday .That took away my dreams for the future in about the 5th grade. My school never bothered to notice there was something terribly wrong in the school they were obeying some "higher authority" and brown nosing some rich pigs in high places..But if a rich kid if he ever set foot in a public school to begin with ever suffered a bully's cruelty that would have been attended to pronto,a rich kid with political ties in a situation like I faced would have had the entire school bending over backward and sacrificing who knows how many poor students dreams to please those rich connected parents holding power by the purse..
Oh, now this is just pathetic. You're blaming fifth grade bullies for keeping you from aspiring to anything and killing your dreams? FIFTH GRADE bullies? Really? You've harbored that much hatred for this many decades? Seriously? And the school ignored the situation so you and your parents let it continue? You didn't go to your teacher, the school counselor, the principle? If your school was so large that bullying was ignored then don't you think bringing it to someone's attention would help? And from there you leap to the conclusion that this would never happen to a rich kid. Don't you think there's bullying in private schools? It has more to do with the social dynamics of schools than how much money someone's family has. And this grand leap of twisted logic which didn't even happen is also responsible for killing poor kids dreams. You know, the easiest thing in the world is to blame everyone else for your problems & pretend it's someone else's fault. Look inward, embrace the crazy & make it work for you! You're the only one in control of your mood and your destiny.
