> Whereas poor people are totally cavalier about their security? i don't think that was the implication, in any respect. > They think they are super rich because they are special, and so need protection. this just seems like a sneering generalization. all throughout history wealthy people - especially those in the public eye, or otherwise with a degree of fame - are huge targets for burglary, kidnapping/ransom and other such things. this isn't to "justify" anything in particular (i don't use facebook or follow news about zuckerberg or other facebook-related people). > The truth being that they are super rich because they work as hard as the top 50% but were insanely lucky. in my view, the sort of "better breed" narrative about rich people being superior tends to be something coming out of the conservative and right-libertarian direction; there if you're not rich, it's because you deserve to not be rich.
