Author Topic: Why Are (Most) Rich People Bad? (Read 11290 times)

All rich people that I know are manipulative bullies who believe that the world is out to get them.

Their inspiration to get rich is usually a result of their defense mechanism that compels them to trick the world before the evil world can trick them.

They thereby reinforce their distorted image of others, and begin to believe that, the world which they have now easily tricked, is dumb.

/end rant.

You need to meet some nicer rich people.

There are plenty of poor jerks as well.

I really haven't. Most rich people--I am not referring to people who are well off--that I know are like this. I only know one guy who is actually super nice.

Still, he messed over some other people with his brother, who he now does not talk to, being one of them

While that is probably true, most poor people can't afford to act like jerks. That said, I do know some rich people who happen to be nice,

The few that I know are as described. None of them are normal nice people.

Are you close friends with these people ? Or they're just not nice on a normal 'friendly' day to day basis?

Where do all these people live ?

Maybe you should start spending time in a different crowd.

Are you involved with any Tzedakas?

I am not close friends with them, nor would I want to be. Two people that I am thinking of scammed my grandfather from the little money they owed him, and did it in a disgusting way.

Another person who I have in mind, who is actually worth well over 5 mil, left his office to babysit one of my fathers 11-dollar per hour workers to make sure that he is not wasting time. When the worker made a mistake, he told me, (and he said it at least five times,) that he needs to do it over "Of Zain Cheshbon! Of Zain Cheshbon!"

I definitely may be wrong, but this is just a strong feeling that I have with people who became super rich from business.

Sounds more like a NYC way of business thing than a rich person thing

I happen to know two people from Pittsburgh and both are jerks, therefore all of Pittsburgh (and the state of Pennsylvania) are complete idiots whom we should all stay far away from!

Plenty of those CH/BP storeowners are likely not worth $5MM and yet they still manage to scowl at you for walking into their store
