@julescelt01 @PaulNickson @Lazarou It's the belief that rich people have earned their wealth through brains, hard work, and some sort of undefined "merit." People buy into this to protect their belief that if they work hard enough, they, too, will be very rich one day. To think that rich people became rich any other way is to think that the entire system is rigged, and a lot of people simply won't entertain that notion.

@Lazarou Am I bovvered?
Fuck ‘em.
@PaulNickson I feed off their misery, it nourishes me.
@Lazarou Same. Although it frustrates me that these fucking idiots don’t realise that money doesn’t buy happiness. They think they know better because their bank accounts scream confidence …
@PaulNickson @Lazarou And a not so small contingent of persons who believe that having that much money somehow confers some magical ability to be 'good', 'smart', or be able to make decisions better than the rest of us.
Never understood this part of human nature.

@Steve @julescelt01 @Lazarou Another thing that strikes me is that money = expertise, knowledge and wisdom. Er, no.

@Steve @julescelt01 @PaulNickson thankfully, and by their own hand that mirage is dissipating.
"The Rich are depraved idiots" is coming back into fashion!
