JUST A THOUGHT - ON 'SOME OF THE PROBLEMS WITH RICH PEOPLE IS ...' FINIS !

 

But on the whole, many of some of us are also jealous of rich people. Some of us are resentful towards rich people; some of us see rich people as 'the enemies of the people.' 

And some of us aspire towards becoming rich like rich people, while others are just indifferent towards rich people.

None of this is really surprising, as it is also the case that rich people, as a category, have the means, wealth or money, to acquire political power and influence governments into ensuring their, rich people's interests, to be legitimised and protected. 

Which raises the questions about what might be considered to be some of the problems some rich people have. Problems about the legal land moral legitimacy of their wealth. 

Dealing with the moral dilemmas such as the fact that, with them accounting for such a large percentage of the Earth's wealth or cake, they are necessarily depriving the majority of the human species of their share or a part of it. 

A realisation which could lead to rich people feeling 'guilty' about their wealth, and having to find ways and means of justifying their fortune to themselves and to others. 

However persuasive of inadequate such ways and means might be. Whether it be the 'I have worked hard for what I have achieved.' Or the 'If others work as hard as me, they too could become as rich as me.' 

Or it be the resort of many rich people who have genuinely undertaken very substantial and commendable philanthropic projects.

There is also the shared problem which exist between some rich people and the rest of society. 

That of corruption, with some rich people using their wealth to corrupt or maintain the organic corruption in society. 

With rich people using their wealth and political and other power to manipulate other people into supporting or not opposing questionable things which they, or their allies or collaborators are doing, or are proposing to do.

Probably what determines the 'problem with rich people', is a factor of several things. Such as, who they are, how did they accumulate and maintain their wealth, and what they do with it. 

Probably most critically, whether or not they are seen to have made an appropriate social investment into improving the living conditions of society.
