Envy. It’s really disgusting to me.
I’ve never been envious or jealous of wealthy people. That’s why socialism/communism has never been appealing to me. I want other people to do well.
Yes, I wish I had "more" like they do. It's mostly my own fault that I don't (and I sometimes thump myself in the face over some bad choices). Although government has contributed much more than I'd like to the situation.
I don't blame rich people for being rich- as long as they didn't use politcs/crime to get that way.
I understand it takes wealthy people to create businesses and jobs for most of us. And the products we want and need. If you tax away their motivation to keep going, they might stop. That's not going to help things. "Free stuff" doesn't appear out of the quantum foam.
What I don't like is when rich people use government against the rest of us. Or when they act as a de facto government with their business- spying, controlling, and cheating us. That's (apparently) government's "job" and it doesn't need help!
