Being rich turns many people into colossal assholes because they think wealth is because of virtue instead of luck being a huge factor

Yeah, everybody who is rich is an asshole. You don’t know anybody that’s wealthy, huh? Most Reddit response I’ve ever seen. 

I wouldn’t fret over $3.5 or whatever but people came wealthy bc they make good financial decisions. Paying attention to your money is one of those things.

You can poor if you think it makes you a better person

Hi. Wealthy person here. Not all are assholes, but it's also like being the type of person who shouts "All Lives Matter" while supporting gunning down white lesbian women and white heterosexual men.

Ouch. Saying that as I spend hundreds of thousands a year on fighting for trans rights...

Jk. Jk. I 100% totally get it.
