How many of us ACTUALLY listened to the video, and didn't just focus on the "rich = rude" tagline???
Did anyone happen to see the Monopoly game scenario?
The idea was that PERCEIVED wealth makes people act like jack-holes.
ACTUAL wealth, being old money, earned wealth, well those folks tended to be more philanthropic.
As for the welfare angle fishbones, that falls into the "perceived" wealth category which created the whole new "entitlement" angle.
(Remember from the Monopoly game scenario where the winners felt they deserved to win? Welfare creates that same affect: money for nothing, so I MUST deserve it!)
So I stand by my statement.
