Rich People
 
Do rich people bother you? This hit me in the face today, and I realised how hostile some people are who arn't well off, towards those who are. Er, do you get what I mean? I'm not just talking about movie stars, but people who have a lot of money for whatever reason.

franscar 12-30-2005 07:28 PM

How rich are we talking? Lottery winner rich (couple of million) or big business corporate type rich? (couple of billion)?

Scarlett O'Hara 12-30-2005 07:30 PM

Like people who seem to have it all. So really million dollar rich. I'm not meaning lotto winners though, people who have been brought up rich, who make their kids rich etc.

E.g. the O.C. style rich.

BlueEyedSuicide 12-30-2005 07:32 PM

They only bother me when they flaunt it, or openly treat people who have less than them like scum. It doesn't matter how rich someone is, no one should be allowed to treat someone else like that. But, I wouldn't spite someone just because they were wealthy.

franscar 12-30-2005 07:34 PM

Guys and gals, but mainly guys as that seems to be how society is, that have really gone out into the world and made their mark themselves, I have nothing but respect for them. Sure, some of them can be fairly vulgar with their outward displays of their wealth, but I guess everyone shows off in their own way.

I agree.

Urban Hat€monger ? 12-30-2005 08:17 PM

I have to deal with people who are well off in my job & most of them are really polite & friendly.

I find it`s more middle class people who have the snobby attitude.

Merkaba 12-30-2005 08:18 PM

Ya BlueEyedSuicide said it well. I don't mind the rich. I just don't want to hear them whinging when mum brings home a 52inch telly for the kids and they wanted a 60inch.

Scarlett O'Hara 12-30-2005 08:25 PM

^ Lol, that would really suck! 52" pfft!

IamAlejo 12-30-2005 08:29 PM

I hate rich people who complain about other rich people.

Merkaba 12-30-2005 08:37 PM

Politicians are a fantastic example of that Alejo. All on 6 figure salaries, sitting around whinging how some other form of management has just had a pay rise.

To be fair, in Britain anyway, the vast majority of politicians don't earn 6 figure salaries, but would be if they worked in the private sector.

Merkaba 12-30-2005 08:43 PM

Over here our politicians earn, on average, just over 100k. With the PM on about 400k I think. And when the mangement of our Power Company, who runs all the smaller power companies, got an alround pay rise, these guys were the first to have a cry.

Yet when these politicians got their 30000 dollar xmas bonus, they were all very low key about it.

franscar 12-30-2005 08:45 PM

Politician in hypocrisy shocker. Although that is some serious dollar ding those boys are pulling in as well.

Unfortunately, their moaning and whining about the injustice is only there to try and furtively grab some more of those lovely votes. Mmmmm. Votes.

Yeah, and some scabby current affairs presenter thinks she's worth more than 450k.


Personally I never consider it, I'm happy where I am at the moment.You don't need money to be happy.Anyone who says otherwise needs a headcheck,

But then poor people will always say that;)

Fenixpunk 12-30-2005 11:46 PM

i didnt read a damn part of this thread except for the 6 figure part...

i expect to be making 6 figures soon, fuck what you think. ignorance is ignorance, its not based on how much you make/:finger:

Yeah the middle class who thinks their upper crust.

I don't hate them for being mean, I hate them for having children. I'll explain.

I work in one of the most affluent cities in the country. It's Brookline, Ma if you want to do the research. I work in a frame shop. People bring in their art and we look at it, tell them what they need to do (or how we can resote it) and do the dirty work and they pay boatloads of cash.

The people who earned the money will just pay us to do it. Their rebelious artsy kids who do their own painting and sculptures (which universally suck) who've never worked for anything ever, walk around like they've had a frontal lobotomy or are on valium, they bother me.

One asked me "where do I get one of those things that you put nails in with?"

The saddest part of that conversation was that she wasn't refering to a hammer...I know, its ok to cry. They have14 million in the bank.

MURDER JUNKIE 12-31-2005 12:06 AM

Yes, but it definitely rules!!! Remember the smug looks on their faces when they used to look at us lowly employees?

Speaking of West Virginia

Hahha....I was cracking up laughing.

you gotta know when to hold her, know when to fold her, know when to walk away, know when to run.

You never touch your cousin, while sitting at the table, they're be time enough for the fondling, when the lights go out.

I hate rich people such as Paris Hilton who is the dumbest person I know yet she is worth close to $1 billion yet the best she has done is hire people to make her a clothing line. If I was rich I would go to places where people are not so fortunate like Africa and help them out

Barnard17 01-02-2006 07:22 PM

I have nothing against people who have lots of money. It's the people that have some fanciful obsession with the rich, and the rich people that seriously don't live on this planet that bug me. Especially the ones that don't live on this planet, but think they're down to earth and cool.

You Know Her??

blackTshirt 01-03-2006 05:31 AM

the thing is, there are people who get rich and still have their head on their shoulders... but then there are their kids who get three new cell phones per month without having no idea how to value what they have
that's just it... no matter how wealthy or not you are, you just shouldn't guide your life by that..
i mean.. you can have everything you want.. but then you have to buy them all over again when the new model's out... that's what bugs me
but i seriously don't care about it enough to criticise them.. it's their life

speaking of paris hilton. when i went down to visit family in FL., i went to grab some food at Checkers(best fast-food place ever). I was just talking with my cousin, cause she works there & was on break. then all of a sudden all these police cars & low-riders come. then you see paris hilton get out of one & come over to us. She is ugly!!!!(no offensive P, but seriously). She was so ****ing rude, thinking that my cousin should put everything down & be at her hands & feet in a hot second. i was laughing my ass off the whole time. To top that, she thought my cousin was going to give the food free to her*lol*! Paris is ugly & a ****ing bitch!
sorry to go off topic

madeinNY 01-03-2006 12:25 PM

Paris makes me laugh. hahaha

I hate when rich people think they're better than you, it pisses me off.

In a way you can't completely blame her for the way she is. Child of super rich parents, everything given to her, and constantly in the media spotlight (originating from her dads hotels), money messes with your head and so does being famous. Expectations are put upon you.

And illusion I'm sure if you wound up with a lot of money you'd probably get funny over it too, maybe not to the same extent.
