- lusis 16y agoYes, I apologize. There are a few things that raise my hackles when it comes to discussions of "income inequality" and "rich people". 1) The presumption that wealth is gained at the expense of someone else. 2) That wealth is always given and not earned. 3) That being "rich" is the result of some sort of criminal behavior. 4) Phrases like "doesn't need that much money" or "has too much money" and the like. 5) The idea that a job belongs to anyone other than the person providing it. You didn't claim any of those things per se.
