DUmpmonkeys hate and envy of the rich

[tuolumnejim]

I have a couple of relatives that have passed that were well off but the richest person I knew you couldn't tell, he drove either an old Cadillac or his WWII surplus Jeep.
He was an old fellow that owned outright over 2800 acres in the Santa Cruz mountains and that property was expensive, he also had a an exotic lumber supply to keep him busy.

Now the outright hate and jealousy I see here is staggering but then I remembered what site I was quoting from.

Do you know a really rich person?

You might ask what does this post have to do with the primaries?

I'll tell you.

For 17 years I worked in an industry where I handled peoples prized possessions on a daily basis .
I won't say what I did but these ranged from 1 million up to 80 million

I would talk and engage with these owners on a daily basis . Most were polite but the one thing EVERYONE OF THEM
had in common was they didn't think of them selves as equals with us. They had no idea or could comprehend
the personal struggles we might be going through whether it was to make your next car payment , pay for a funeral,
make your mortgage payment , pay your rent , pay your deductible on your hospital bill , pay the garage for repair
on your car when it breaks down. I could make a list of things but you get my drift on this.


They live in a different world than you or I. Life is different for them.

Now you might ask why is this relevant to post in this forum?

Hillary Clinton does not understand regular people anymore . Maybe she did many, many years ago but not anymore

She is the same kind of person I had to deal with every day. We have a person also running that I feel does connect with me.
Does understand what we are going through on a real life daily basis .

Lets get this done

Lets move away from the 1% just this once folks. Lets elect a man with honor and integrity .

[Carl]

Well look at this.

1. I personally know some CEOs of huge corporations and plenty of filthy rich people

Your comments do not apply to any of them.

Every now and then you run into a spoiled, entitled spouse who acts like their shit doesn't stink, but the vast majority are wonderful people.

Going to fess up buzzy and admit to the primitives that you are a 3rd level college professor but a 1st level government grant grifter to the tune of 100s of thouands of dollars?

Security guard for a bank, museum, auction house? Wait, those would require passing a piss test, I'm sure, so those are out. Valet parking lot attendant?

****ing DUmbass. You have no idea what other people think. Stop projecting your mental sickness on others.

The so-called rich are not equal to you. I am not equal to you. You are not equal to me.

Equality is the starting point. Each man is born with one life, and only one life. The so-called "rich" own you nothing, and you owe them nothing, except that which you voluntarily agree to trade, and to not steal from or hurt each other.

Now, go eat a bag of dicks.

Class envy is powerful, and is one of the foundations of the democrat party.

It's also what motivates rants against the "elite" and the "establishment".

Good point. 

Liberals want the government to rule everything including wealth distribution.

Conservatives basically want the government to provide for the common defense of people and the country and just that.

[Ralph Wiggum]

During my years in Chicago, the former Mrs. Wiggum was a teacher at a rather exclusive private school.  We encountered numerous millionaires, many with $5-$10 million homes in the Gold Coast.  For several of them we would occasionally house sit, pet sit or rarely babysit.  Despite their wealth, they were all great and genuinely nice people.

Sure, there some arrogant a-holes.  But I find more idiot jerks who play in pool leagues than I ever did amongst the wealthy.

Hey DUmbass, I made 40K last year and I don't think you're equal with me. You DUmbasses are the lowest scum in this country and will never be my equal

They had no idea or could comprehend the personal struggles we might be going through

It's not that we don't have any idea about or comprehend your personal struggles you're going through. We just don't give a flying **** about it and think the world will be a better place if you'd just go away, hopefully in the most painful and terminal way possible.

I think they should go away to a socialist paradise... Venezuela, Cuba, Greece, North Korea.  Any of those will do.

As long as they do not return.

34. Nobody deserves to be in the 1%

actually. Nobody is worth that much to society or to themselves. From the Kochs to Bill Gates to Oprah. Nobody. The 1% have way too much power.

Tax the rich.

Math is hard.   

In Alan's pitch, he provides links to contribute to Bernie.  However...

11. **** this!

The first link leads directly to Grayson's campaign site, not Bernie's! Grayson is using DU as a funding base -- again, and being deceitful about it.

64. Gotta kinda wonder ... does Bernie approve of this message?

I.E. Grayson using Bernie's name in this way, referring to US repeatedly?

He's all like 'Give Me, Alan Grayson, some money cause I'm 'with' Bernie, we're fighting the same revolution, together, all arm-in-arm and buddy-buddy ... so giving money to me is just like giving it to Bernie!'

If Bernie knew Grayson was doing this ... I suspect he'd be a little perturbed ... perhaps MORE than 'a little'.

It's not like Grayson is his friggin' running mate or some shit. They're not from the same state, or even House of Congress.

78. Thank you for the endorsement, but I disagree with your superdelegate vote

Superdelegates should always vote for the candidate who won the primary or caucus of their state. You have now boxed yourself in to possibly vote against the will of Florida Democratic voters. That is so foolish and irresponsible, not to mention it will assure a loss in your Senate race, should you get that far.

We do not want an elite group of establishment Democrats, lobbyists and other special interests who are now superdelegates, to decide who will be our candidate. YOU are setting a precedent for that to now happen. If you set the precedent that allows other superdelegates to vote against Bernie, even if he won the primary or caucus of any given state, I will ****ing hate your guts for the rest of my life.

I hope Bernie supporters will see how disastrous it would be if superdelegates decide to vote against the will of the people. Please don't buy into this shit sandwich.

Why can't they see this Grayson scumbag for what he is? 

[Big Dog]

.. which should qualfy him to be Emperor Three Putt's next spokeshole.

This nifty hate-the-rich bouncy was buried in the thread.

If you changed it to add atrocious grammar, spelling, and punctuation, it would sound exactly like Pam Dawson.

79. Friends are people we socialize with. If you have all these rich friends,

either you "carry your weight", i.e., pay your own way and are equally wealthy yourself, or for some reason one of them pays your share. If the they pick up the tab for you, why would that be?

Would these very wealthy people describe you to their peers as "a friend"? So you go somewhere like a pro football game, and they sit in the luxury sky boxes and you sit in the bleachers? You vacation together and they fly private jet and you travel coach on Southwest? They stay en suite at the Four Seasons on Nevis Island and you camp in a tent on the beach? You go out to pricey restaurants and you say you're not really hungry and nibble on the amuse bouche? Do you end up spending money you can't afford in order to keep up with the Joneses?

I belong to an organization with a woman who is constantly name dropping about her very important, high ranking, political friends. In her version, they call her all the time, ask her opinion on what they should do and say, and she is always invited to their parties. In reality, she gets solicitation calls for donations, mailed opinion surveys, and is invited to fund-raising events.

I have some very wealthy family members, and an impoverished, single niece with 4 kids (through a combination of divorce, job loss, health problems, mortgage foreclosure, ending in a homeless shelter - but now thank god, employed again and able to rent a house). The wealthy ones get together every other Christmas for a 10 day, 5 star holiday in St. John's and ignore other family members; those of us in the middle - like me and my adult kids - give as generously as we can to the (working) poor family members, i.e., helping them catch up on their rent, pay their electric bills and getting some fun presents for the youngest children. When I asked my multi-millionaire brother and his fat-ass, never worked a day in her life wife, to help out with a few hundred for his niece's (her dad/our brother died decades ago) auto repair, I was told by my rich bitch sister-in-law, that they didn't believe in charity. It was character building for people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and handle their problems on their own. Oh, and all of the wealthy branch are registered Dems, although I don't know that they ever donate to any candidates

And finally, I worked on the last census, personally tracking down and contacting very wealthy people, often in gated communities or on large estates surrounded by walls and security gates with cameras and intercoms, who couldn't be bothered to return their census forms. My fellow census workers were retired professionals - high school teachers, college professors, engineers, and me - a lawyer. All well-spoken, nicely dressed, well-mannered. You'd have thought we were a band of traveling gypsies, casing their palatial estates for criminal activities.

Those Dems are tight-wads, nasty vicious loathsome creatures. 

The rest of the bouncy was stupid, it assumes that just because you have rich friends, you must socialize with them in the manner of opulence, all the time.  Backyard barbecues?  Of course not!  We can't wear our diamonds to those!   And just because you're friends, you don't go on fabulous vacations together.  Idiot.

Ungenerous people usually don't identify with just one political party. Their lack of generosity is them, not their political affiliation. That this character finds his D relatives being ungenerous remarkable is because he believes the stereotype that all Rs are selfish.

It's odd, but I've never asked the economic status of people I have over for dinner or a party. It must be that "the rich" are a different sub-sub-sub-sub-species of human, Homo 1%er.

I have a rich, uber-liberal older brother who is the same way. He doesn't part with a nickel unless there's something in it for him. He told me in no way would he vote for Trump. I said, be serious. you will pull the lever for whoever has the D after their name, be it hitlary or grandpa. he said, not necessarily. I said, ok, cruz vs. either hillary or bernie. Who do you pull the lever for?

No answer.
