Anyone notice how after a certain threshold, the justification for the super-rich to get richer begins to closely mirror the divine right of kings? As in "I don't know exactly why he's king/super-rich, but he must deserve it otherwise he wouldn't be king/super-rich."
No but I notice that envy can make people completely forget about principles and logic. I've known a lot of really wealthy people, and I don't envy them at all. kj.
There's that envy meme. Whose it that? Hannity? Rush?
I'm not envying the rich. When I get upset, it's when the rich use their influence to bring about the long list of failures in rankandfile's post at MY expense, THEN proceed to tell me it's my fault because I'm jealous or want something for nothing. The finance industry certainly wasn't deregulated to allow poisoned mortgage-backed securities at my request.
