My guess is that they feel they are supplying something the whole world is benefiting from, and they believe that unfair.
That ignores the fact that the US benefits immensely from this, and that they benefit domestically from providing that benefit more widely by getting a lot of free contributions from the outside. But the US foots the bill of those who do get payed, so its unfair...
- fragmede 1y agoIt's so unfair that I have an great job so I can treat my friends to dinner all the time! I hate being rich.
- imcritic 1y agoIt's rather "I know I'm rich, but why do friends expect ME to pay for dinner all the time? It's so unfair!".
- clort 1y agoIts a bit like when you are a two-bit loser but have a private island where you can do whatever you like, and invite every celebrity you can find over to party every weekend, then start complaining that they haven't paid any of the island running costs and that they are all spongers because you are the main attraction of the island parties.
- imcritic 1y agoI find your analogy to be poor: is someone owning a private island and familiar with lots of celebrities a loser? I'd very much like to be such a "loser".
- pyrale 1y agoAnother analogy: my friends and I often eat at the restaurant I own, and occasionally, I pick the tab. I complained angrily about it, and now they want to try out other restaurants or dine at home.

So instead I will allow myself to be robbed and we'll all share the cost of a low-key restuarant. Or maybe let's charge each other to eat together, yeah!
