Envy



Anytime inequality or inequity is brought up, the "you're just jealous!!1" line always shows up. Usually by someone poor or solidly middle class. Sad, really.

Compared to poor and homeless people middle class people are actually doing quite good. Its a matter of perspective.

It may make you sad but that doesn't make it any less true.

So it's okay to hate people that have more than you? Gotcha. I don't want to live my life with that poison in it. You guys can knock yourselves out then. I won't partake.

IKR! Every time, there it is, like clockwork. Some broke person defending tax cuts and welfare for the rich with the jealousy argument.

Do you get tired of self-pwning or does it feel good to you?

I want the rich to pay their fair share just like you.

Perhaps the article should have been 6 Things Defenders of the Rich shouldn't say. Seems to be the apologists are more upset about this kind of thing than actual rich folks are. Probably because a great number of them aren't stupid enough to say those 6 things.

Why am I am apologist because I don't want to engage in envy like you? I want them to pay their fair share just like you, but because they don't make me /meltdown I am an apologist? It doesn't count unless I am seething with hatred for them.

Boy you guys are fucking warped. No wonder why you are all miserable people.
