I Hate Rich People

How many honest people ever really get rich? There is literally no way to get rich by holding a regular job and going about your life in a law-abiding way being considerate and honest in all your dealings. It just doesn't work.

The man who gets a job and is responsible and decent simply does not acquire wealth. So what's the answer? You steal, you connive and deceive, you plunder, you take. Life just doesn't hand you things, it actively keeps you from getting them unless you are willing to lose any sense of morality and adopt the acquisition of wealth as the only true goal.

Face it, being pampered, being driven, being cooked for and catered to, having your ego massaged at every opportunity by boot-lickers hoping for a tip, all of it makes for weak, petty people with no sense of how the world really works.

Never having to work hard, never having to be afraid of being evicted or missing meals, never having any of the bad shit that the rest of us face on a daily basis, that makes for weak people the way lack of sunlight will make your skin pale and your bones brittle.

The rich are by definition weak, whiny, soft, stupid, emotionally frail people.

Gated communities, penthouse suites, restaurants with dress-codes, barriers of security-guards and receptionists, handlers, agents, bodyguards. Rich people want to separate themselves. One of the perquisites/compulsions of having money is that you get to separate yourselves from everybody who doesn't.

That's what money buys you. Isolation. Rich people, more than anything, want to pretend that the rest of us simply do not exist. It's kind of like aborting the world. You are like an ugly memory and they want nothing more than to lose you, to keep you out of sight.

What purpose do rich people serve, really? What benefit does anybody get from someone else being rich? What exactly is the point of having rich people in your town?

I am not proposing communism or anarchy here, I am all for free enterprise.

I don't hate Oprah!
