The ‘poor’ are the rich Jesus warned you about

November 28, 2011 By Kathy Shaidle

Jim Goad puts it a little differently, of course:

If any of these baseball-cap-wearing ass-sores clawing over one another at midnight to score a discounted toaster oven using their nearly tapped-out credit card had the slightest chance to be a despised villainous oligarch, they’d cannibalize every peasant within a hundred miles and then go out for lobster puffs with champagne.

This isn’t to say that greed is inherently good, only to point out that it’s not confined to those who’ve been successful at it. (…)

This is why the currently meme-tastic fantasy fable that the wealthy are innately evil while the poor are misunderstood saints is unmitigated horseshit. They’re all homo sapiens, meaning that despite the tax bracket, 99% of them will suck.
