And dont forget the victim narrative that tells you the only reason youre in that predicament to begin with is that youre oppressed by the White Man. Exchange "rich people" for "white man", and you pretty much have the narrative that I was raised with. It took me a long time to get past that visceral hatred I had for rich, even upper middle class, people. Had I held on to that hatred, I never would have achieved the level of success that I have.
That's too bad. I came from a blue-collar family, and my parents never begrudged people richer than they. Envied them, maybe, but didn't begrudge them what they had. From them I learned that you didn't raise yourself up by lowering someone else; instead, you elevated yourself by doing what they did.
It's the reason I refuse to buy into that class warfare bs even today.
