Rich People's Selfishness

Don't know if this is your opinion or if you're just stating a fact about others, but that is some selfish social pariah thinking right there. "Fuck you, I've got mine". Unfortunately, that's what seems to go through many rich people's minds.

The rich have better things to do. Like charity work. Envy really is the mother of all sins.

I think it's a bigger category: the egos of the powerful. The rich are a subset.

It's not greed from their viewpoint, it

You're making a similar argument rich people make to defend their wealth: they earned it, they're comfortable, and they don't care what other people think. Not caring about anyone besides your immediate circle is the problem, so you bragging about it just means we'll never agree.

Inequality is a strong psychological issue. No amount of correct math and logic can offset that.
