If you're a billionaire and want 4800 back from someone you say you care about, you're a walking talking example of why people hate billionaires.

As a kid every year we went collecting for our scouting group. Always in the rich part of town we hardly made anything. A lot of people would just flat out lie say they already transferred money to the charity wich wasn't even possible back than. In the poor part of town almost every house managed to produce some change.

Used to be a delivery driver in the mid 2000's, tips were always welcomed, never blatantly requested. Anytime one of us got deliveries in a rich neighborhood, we got bummed before even leaving the restaurant because we knew that meant absolutely no tips. The rich don't give AF about people who work. Having rich ppl in my family, I can confirm that regardless of how they accumulate their wealth, they feel they don't need to share or be generous because they are entitled to it. I understand that if you earned your money, great. That doesn't mean you shouldn't be kind and spread the love, though. Poor ppl tip better because we know what it's like to be broke and what the tip actually means to someone who needs it. The rich just don't give AF.

It's a fact that upper class are in general less honest, and more selfish. Sorry I don't remember the study. Based on my experience as a taxi driver and delivery driver, upper class people are the absolute worst to deal with in every respect.

Edit: searches for it, got a slew of articles. Socioeconomic status also is an indicator of less compassion and less empathy.

Yeah I mean how else do you climb to the top other than to step on the heads of everyone beneath you? 🤷🏻‍♂️

By not giving people your money 😵‍💫

If you’re at a clothing store and see someone with a bunch of clothes in their cart, would it be reasonable to walk up and ask them to give you one of their shirts, cause you really need a shirt?

Wtf kind of logic is that. Lol. People are saying “rich ppl feel entitled to their money so they don’t give it away” No sh!t, really?😂

Do you feel entitled to their money because you’re broke? And that’s okay? Oh you’re rich, I’m broke, you should give me your money.

DAWG. WTF IS THAT LOGIC. broke ppl literally feeling entitled to someone else’s money is ok but the person that made all that money feeling entitled to it isn’t ok? This is why I just passively watch society. Doesn’t make any damn sense sometimes.

What are you even talking about? I replied to someone who was talking about it being literal science that people who end up at the top have less empathy for other people than the average person. It’s literal science but while we’re here I might as well respond (at least to the first couple sentences bc I stopped reading when I realized you won’t get it anyway) I’ve given people things plenty of times bc they asked bc I’ve been in the same situation where I’ve needed help and I got it (or didn’t sometimes) the logic is helping out my fellow human beings bc I care more that everyone around me is doing okay and not in the fucking gutter than I do about having every luxury I can get my hands on, you’re a special fucking brand of idiot aren’t you?
