Quit Bashing The Rich!

Maybe in your example you should have noted that the rich person at the table only ate a salad because he was so stuffed already from gorging on the food he had stolen right out of everybody else's mouths, and the candy stolen from babies for dessert. Then you would have a true understanding of the way the rich are viewed in the current struggle of class warfare.

Thomas:

If I noted the situation in your example, I'm pretty sure the rich person (who I said was a friend) wouldn't be a friend much longer, and probably wouldn't be invited out to dinner with that particular group of friends anymore.

Also, I'm sorry for your prior traumatic experience with rich people. It's a shame when anyone gets robbed, but it's especially sad when they steal from little children. Did they have a gun? A knife?

I personally have gotten nothing from rich people, other than jobs and lower taxes, because they bear the vast majority of the tax burden in this country.

I just hope that I don't wander down the dark alley you found yourself in with that food stealing bandit.
