Nothing in his statement talked about the poor being better, just that every rich person becomes so by taking from others.
replyBy that logic, every poor person becomes so by giving to others. Neither statement is true. They equated being rich with being evil, which is plain stupid and I don't understand why you are defending it.
replyI agree with you, but I think it's also easy to see where people like the person you're responding to are coming from. Corporations have become pretty nasty in modern times. It's no longer really about offering the best product for the best price, but instead coercing and exploiting people so much as possible to squeeze every single penny out of them, offering as little as possible in return, and then somehow turning everything into rent.
replyAge is often a factor here. If you're older then you've known a different world of capitalism than what's being put on display in contemporary times. By contrast for younger people, this sketchiness is all they've ever known.
Some of worst evilest motherfuckers I knew were dirty poor, and some of them were filthy rich.
replyEvil Motherfuckerness seems to be uniformly distributed across the social strata.
I agree. I think it has nothing to do with how much a person has and everything with who they choose to be.
replyUnfortunately, stupid communist ideas are very popular on this website. Say "eat the rich" and they will clap.
