According to a new study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin this month, wealth tends to increase a person’s sense of entitlement, which in turn can lead to narcissistic behaviors.
Paul Piff of the University of California at Berkeley told PsyPost: “there is something about wealth that gives rise to a sense of entitlement, a sense that one deserves more good things in life than others, which in turn gives rise to an increased or inflated sense of self-importance, vanity, grandiosity, and omnipotence (narcissism).”
(The Tax Cuts For The Rich, BECAUSE WE DESERVE IT!)
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. John Kenneth Galbraith
However the continued focus on the few wealthy Americans is a diversion that makes focusing on lifting up the lower and middle class a forgotten issue. Of course if all intentions and energy go into hating the "1%" then the rest of Amerika forgets how crappy their owns lives are and they stop holding their elected officials responsible.
In true Hitlerian fashion this tyrannical monster, Box- goes on to display how he is a puppet for the government and the ruling class who want to do absolutely zero for YOU, or anyone else but themselves.
In the meanwhile, the true uber-rich laugh and laugh and slap the politicians on the back, knowing full well that all taxation and confiscation schemes are squarely aimed at emptying the pockets of the vast middle class and lower classes! Because there just aint' enough of those one percenters to balance the budget on, pay the debt off with, or spend and grow the government into the kind of Nazi state the ruling class would like to see it become.
THAT has top be done by raiding Grandma's IRA where she and her nasty, greedy now-dead husband saved all their life so they could be "rich" and have a half a million to live on in old age. THAT has to be done on the backs of a guy who earns 200K by working 80 hours a week so that he can put his three kids through school and take care of his wife when he drops dead at 60. THAT has to be done by getting the greedy couple of professionals who spent a total of 20 years in college combined and who now at age 50 are raking in a fantastical $175,00 a year! HOW DARE THEM WORK HARD while millions of lobs and slobs are sitting on a porch drink Colt 45 and collectin' a paltry welfare check! HOW DARE THEM.
ENTITLED BASTERDS!
So it is not about the Mitt Romney and Warren Buffet (or better yet the faceless and evil KOCH Brothers.) It is about YOU. But just focus on those evil guys with the billions and you will feel better when they turn you upside down to get the pocket change you still have.
EATING THE RICH will solve everything! Really...
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
That could be true of wealth, in one sense. A young person I know decided to take the "chinese bus" down to NYC one day, as it is significantly less expensive. You don't have to be chinese, of course, to take it. An individual of an obviously low economic bracket got on the bus, and somehow felt entitled to be catered to like a rock star for her $17.00 or whatever it was she paid. She was screeching curse words and racial slurs at the driver, threatening violence. See, somebody running a bus system, they must be wealthy or something, right? They couldn't just be very hard working individuals who pooled their resources to solve a transportation problem for themselves. So anyway, "they" owed this woman something she wasn't getting, something she was ENTITLED to, or believed she was, anyway. My friend just hoped for under twenty bucks one way he would arrive at his destination in one piece.
$$ always makes folks 'taller'.....wanting $$ to buy sh!t is not a sin....
wealth can be defined in MULTIPLE ways.....kind of like when someone comes up to you and pats you on the shoulder and says "you do such a good job. I could never do what you do. I don't think you get paid enough. There's a place in heaven for you."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA......
Consider your hourly wage job your philanthropic offering to society, there's a place in heaven for you. you won't be remembered with a statue when you're gone.
but.......'Hi, I'm Oprah and I just went to another country and built a school and had it filmed so I will be remembered like Jesus."
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
