Why are rich people hated?

And how many tens of thousands of people bend tax rules or have them bent for them? How many people launder money while hiding their books and tax returns? At some point the average person is disgusted by the lengths rich people go to get richer. Sam Walton is rich. Do you think Wal-Mart is some well run organization doing the community good? No. They offer crap wages and crappy working conditions under the notion that people don't HAVE to work there, do they? So every retail store is forced to follow their market plan because all the impoverished citizens want is cheap foreign made goods regardless of what the overall effect on the community is. And since many people need to get whatever job is available, we have a market for Wal-Mart workers. Gee, what a wonderful world. We're all Horatio Alger at heart, right?

Generally if you're enjoying life, people will try to start problems with you. You can be considered poor, but if your enjoying your job, have a few good hobbies, or other things going for yourself, and making just enough to get by, people try to stamp that feeling of contentedness out of you. For instance I work a hospital trade job which gives me a modest income, but nothing to write home about. I do my work and chat with my colleagues happily, but usually people try to bring me down by making cutting remarks as if me working a trade job makes me beneath them. This has happened almost every single time I've had a smile on my face or feeling comfortable in general. So the point is, whether your rich or not, if you look happy, expect to be treated like trash by POS'. Main reason I just focus on my own life and don't associate with anyone other then my family and 2-3 good friends

i believe the majority of the worlds problems come from people having kids they cant afford or raise right. if the poor stopped breeding, poverty would go virtually extinct.

sure i kinda hate people with way mor money than me but i'd rather have them for neighbors

WE WANT THEIR MONEY !!!

I only get bored with them when they try and make out they are like everyone else or cry about having to do quarantine in a mansion with all the luxuries and money in the bank that would make their "prison" seem more like a resort.

In my experience, it's not the amount money people that's the issue, it's the lack of empathy for anyone who earns less.

Even relatively less well off people often view homeless people the same way millionaires would view people earning minimum wage.

I'd say the children of rich people are thd worst. They've not had to work for anything so don't have the perspective of any struggle involving food or rent or utilities. Not their fault i suppose. Just like I've no idea what being in a refuge camp is like.

I can't speak for those who 'hate rich people' for ...reasons. I'd say though the silver spoon types who go out of their way laugh or mock people like "haha you're poor" or if putting down how they earn their living. Those kinds of rich people are hated.

People hate assholes. A lot of rich people act like superior assholes. For further explanation observe the president of the United States.
