The upper of the upper of the upper? Yes absolutely! Because they use their billions to buy politics and rig the world so they get more at everyone else's expense.
Yes, I want to feed the hungry and treat the sick, but I don't have a dime extra for my kids Christmas this year and I'm fucking jealous of those who do.
This is the kind of jealousy that veers into injustice's territory. Like, there's a line between envy and righteous indignation that people don't always see, and we're crossing that line right now.
It's fashionable to believe that anyone who has anything isn't worthy or didn't actually work for it. It's trendy to think I deserve your things having not actually achieved anything or spent 25-30 years doing anything.
Also. When the downvotes outnumber the comments you know you've hit a nerve.

Upper middle? No not at all.
Upper? Maybe a little. Mostly misplaced.

Cause we're jealous.
And not in a dismissive way.

I’m perfectly capable of hating middle and lower class people also.
