That video is stupid.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

My experience shows it depends on wethere it's new money or old.
My daughter lives in one of the wealthiest areas in the state where money has been in the families for generations. I have never found nicer or more courteous people in general.
No noses up in the air.

On the other hand a few towns over from me there is a town with a lot of "new money yuppies" that are a pain in the arse. The women go to the food store dressed up like they are going out for dinner and going to a show just to buy food with they're noses in the air and that "it's all about me look." The men are no different and have that "get out of my way it's ME attitude" look how important I am.

It makes sense.
How many of us have come across the "entitled" ones, you know the ones who are ready to pull the "Do you know who I am?" line when they want to feel better about themselves and their pathetic lives?

Old money shouild be specified as original wealth held by older, more grounded people and not just money handed down from parents to kids.
Once you get into the "hand-me-down cash scenario it becomes a different ballgame. Many of these trust fund babies haven't earned their fortunes and automatically begin thinking that they are entitled to everything more than anyone else solely based on who they are or who their daddy was.

Keep in mind that most people that "come into money" end up being snobby based on what they perceive they should be like and what they have been exposed to in the media.

So, yes, the video is spot on!

I am a legend in my own mind!

One of the most idiotic and off base comments ever posted on this site. And there have been some real doozies recently.

Hang out in the line at your local welfare or food stamps office, r even Walmart. Tell me if you see anyone rude there. Or better yet, just watch everyone on the road driving and let me know if you see any people driving #^&#^&#^&#^&boxes cutting someone off. This video was clearly made by someone with an agenda knowing that people who aren't very bright would jump all over it as fact.
