"The rich, who have never been in that situation, don´t care about the poor."

Why should they? Millions of their tax dollars are forcibly confiscated every year to care for the poor.

By the way, I guess you forgot the rich like Andrew Carnegie, who gave millions of dollars away to build libraries and colleges to educate the poor and the middle class.

Class envy?

That was when there were rich who were interested in building a strong middle class -- who of the rich is like that now?

I guess you forgot that Andy also made his business investments in America, providing employment for Americans.

Andrew Carnegie build libraries and colleges to wash the blood off his hands and so that people like you would have us believe he was a decent man. You obviously have no ancestors who worked in his steel mills. My husband is from Pittsburgh -- so the lies about Carnegie won't wash here.

Class envy--?

Well, I see at close range a lot of rich people trucking in illegal aliens to spread their mulch, swab their pools (and toilets.

All because they like servants who are abject and humble, "muchas gracias, padron."

Yup--I like them less and less. My taxes go to pay for their health care (via the ER) and my kids go to schools who struggle to deal with non-English speakers. And the rich enjoy the servitude.

Envious? nope. Resentful as H*ll? Yup.
