Answer 1

There was a movie (with Dan Akroyd) Trading Places...watch it if you can. It shows a rich guy and a begger getting switched, and they each end up acting just like the other was acting.

(The differences arent in the people.

People are all the same potentially.

It's SITUATION that causes different behaviors to errupt).

ALSO... if someone GETS TO have food that is "for taste", or "for appearance", instead of having to shop wisely for nutrition and get no more...arent those people just lucky?

(I NEVER buy the argument that the wealthy "WORKED HARD"   "FOR it"...the truth is they had the right college and also financial backing GIVEN to them at birth!

Thats not "working hard for it"!

Thats not even "working" for it! AT ALL!

Thats just hitting the lottery!

So I look at how a poor slob will share half of what he's got with another even poorer slob, just out of  sympathy.

And then I look at the rich people greedily taking all the working people's money  away, saying "Let them get their own (HAHHAHa)  and it pisses me off.

I think the sheer greed and total discompassion the rich show towards the very people they are fleecing so they can BE so well-endowed is just disgusting.

Values?

So few people have decent ones, REGARDLES of their class position.

But if there ARE good ones I would say it's when someone cares to help another, wanting nothing in return.

When someone selflessly drops everything THEY were wanting to do at the moment , and helps a stranger to releive their distress.

THAT impresses me.

I dont see rich people do that . Ever.

They're too busy putting everybody elses money in THEIR box!!! (a safe is arguably a box)

THEN they go on a plane, for example, and want the right to have nicer seats than others can have.

Why should they have that?

If I ran an airline there just wouldnt BE any "First CLASS" seats!

There wouldnt be any CLASSES!

I mean one could argue the nonsense to me again about how the rich "worked for it" (even though we just went over how they were BORN into luckiness, and now I'd have to add that THEY dont DO any work (they sit in air conditioned luxury,doing something called  "owning"  !!!)

WHAT'S "WORK" ABOUT THAT?!

So I'd get this silly excuse why the rich should be able to BUY better service if they can afford it, but you know what?

Bullsh*t!

I dont go for that.

Its just ALLOWING certain people. who are already Jackpot lucky to begin with, to get to publicly make everyone else feel degraded and uncomfortable

(Well, hey! Those coach seats would be WIDER if the space wasnt arbitrarily being given to imaginarily "special" people. see?

So anyway thats why I dont like classes.

Theyre artificial and unfair.

Reasonlessly.

You just get born into one or the other, in this society,

and nothing grates on me worse than the sound of someone congratulating themselves just for their random luckiness they got.

while  casting blame on those who were BORN INTO awfulness , as if it's escapable. or their fault. I assure you it's neither.

But this is how people act, making up imaginary excuses about who "deserves" what.

And  it's all a trick, to stop anyone from really questioning why the rich have so vastly much.

I don't like this society one bit. It's ugly.

To have a few people live like royalty while so many live in desperation.

While meanwhile we are the richest nation...if you divided the amount of money all 300 million Americans make per year up evenly, every man woman and infant even would get a quarter million dollars as their share (of that wealth we all create). Annually.

So why is it so disproportionately denied then?

Why?

Ronald Reagn's answer to that was that the rich would "trickle down"on us, later, if we let them, take all our money now.

And taking it all included his idea to lower the minimum wage to 1.85 per hour.

He also suggested that if we have Congress declare officially that ketchup is a vegetable, we could spend less on school lunches, for the kids)

((NO I'm not kidding AT ALL--> Look it up!)

GREED. Just pure runaway reasonless unchecked greed.

That's all that we got goin' on.

That, and a populace that allows it.

Answer 2

1. It's more like "caste values"; my family is reasonably well-known in our city's Jewish community.

Answer 3

A no for tomatoes
