So because they are (rich) that word that lately has become a four letter word to the MSM as if it were something evil....."rich"...oh no, not those rich folk.
This rich/poor garbage is getting ridculous, like it's a crime to have money and not be poor. And if you aren't mooching off everyone and the govt that's a bad, bad thing.
Reminds of the GEICO commercial where the exec tries to apologize to the cavemen.
It is attitude that separates the doers from the takers. The doers are not resentful of the rich. They want to be like them and when they are they want it to mean something.
The takers never intend to be rich, they don't have they drive or energy, so they resent them.
And there you have it.
