Bad manners is not unique to economic status. for every rich person that looks down their nose at you, I'll show you a hundred poor people that thinks everybody owes them something. I have to agree with you on this. Working in an industry where I serve and am surrounded by people from every economic echelon (tack store, equestrian supply retailer) I have seen my share of very, very well-heeled individuals as well as those barely able to own and feed a horse. Sometimes the rich folk are insufferable and often they are not. Sometimes the financially challenged are big pains in the asses and annoying for other reasons. People are people irrespective of their economic status and I have found that if you're as ass to begin with you're still going to be an ass if you acquire wealth. When I see someone start with the 'tude in the store I'm the first one to throw it right back at them. If there's one thing I won't stand for is lousy manners. I have told people to either knock it off or get out, not often but it has happened! From: "olliesedwuz@...

A friend of mine works on high end cars. He relocated his shop about ten years ago, from a middle class town to a wealthy one, and he said it was like night and day; from being considered a craftsman, to a servant. His skill sees him through, though, and he doesn't hesitate to turn away business from the more problematic ones. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <steve.sundur@...> wrote : Of course it does, Mike. I never implied it didn't. It is just surprising, or maybe not so much, when you see the rich acting like misers. I think having a lot money changes you, and not always for the better. I am not for taking away the incentive to succeed, I'm just saying that having money comes with it's own set of problems. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : You can call it *cognitive dissonance* if you like.

We all have a tendency to filter out what we don't want to hear. I believe it's called cognitive dissonance. But, I commend you Mike, that you give no ground.

You often hear about the sense of entitlement that develops in the ultra rich. An attitude where they feel a disdain for their fellow man. Manifests in things like poor tips, rudeness, not paying bills, or paying late. But as was mentioned earlier, that may be a pitfall many would fall into. I think you have to work hard to stay real, every day. (-: ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote : What about the middle class?

If they put it in a bank, the bank uses it to loan to people, companies, cities, states and nations who in turn pays people with it for services, products and pensions. The money works!

ROTFL! Mike, you DO realize building products like that don't put a lot of people to work? Much if it is custom built with small crews. Stop celebrating the rich screwing you over. I guess you think it feels good? A middle class with the ability to spend would way outweigh the rich ability to put people to work.

Doyou think this is fair or right? Billionairism is mental disease called greed. And don't tell me they're the jobs creators. It's small businesses that are the jobs creators. The big companies buy up the small ones and lay people off. Acquisitions are a bad business fad. Corporations should be limited in size and lifespan. And taxes should increase of the wealthy to discourage wealth accumulation and contracting billionairism. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/global-wealth-inequality_56991defe4b0ce4964242e09http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/global-wealth-inequality_56991defe4b0ce4964242e09 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/global-wealth-inequality_56991defe4b0ce4964242e09
