Man, rich people really think this way... Like, the wealthiest person I know is in my direct family, and this is how they talk every day.

Nobody even brings it up, they can't wait to shit on everyone that is less fortunate than them. The poorer someone is, the less they value them. It's so frustrating - anytime I'm around them, I'm just constantly trying to steer the conversation to a safe place.

Sure they do. My SO's ex boss was a multimillionaire who has a business that requires him to put money into it, as it's a long term investment kind of thing, and you'd think people were pulling his teeth out he fussed so much. Then don't have a business and sit on your ass all day and hoard your money. They're the greediest people.
