    Imagine thinking you’re better than others because you’re good at amassing wealth.

    Everywhere around you people are suffering but because of your innate superiority you are not only not suffering, you have far more than you could ever hope to need, and you cling to it white-knuckled like it’s going to stand up and walk away.

    Congratulations, you are the smelliest sphincter.

      The interesting thing is that the media trained us to admire these people, and listen with bated breath to their advice. When in fact they are the last people we should ask for any kind of moral guidance. Their greed has made literally every major societal issue worse. Fortunately, I think that illusion is dissolving, and more and more it’s a majority opinion that the rich are too rich and it needs to stop. Lots of disagreement on how to stop it, unfortunately
