I don't think people are hated for not giving away money.

Rich people are hated mostly because of the way they became rich, i.e., by exploiting workers.

This doesn't feel like an unpopular opinion more like an unaware opinion of why rich people are hated.

I think most rich people are hated because of tax evasion

People don't hold them to the same standards they hold other people too they hold them to much higher standards which is not fair

They are hated for taking everyone else's money through exploitation in the first place.

The rich are hated because they use thier money to buy off law makers and then pass laws that take everyone else's money and transfer it to the wealthy.

Why am I only allowed to hate middle class people for not donating to charity when it's clearly easier for the rich to do it? I'm an equal opportunity hater. (Hate being a stronger word than what I feel, but trying to stick with your theme)

@Kasie i don't donate

And you are telling me that because you want me to say I hate you? Or you take pride in only looking out for yourself? Unless you are in a position where you need to receive charity I have no idea why you would announce such a thing.

@Alixkast just want your opinion

About you not donating? Assuming you aren't someone in need of charity yourself I think you suck. You may have other redeeming qualities that overshadow this particular aspect of your character, but in this area my opinion is that you are lacking.

Nobody hates rich people for not giving away what they have earned.

They hate rich people for exploiting workers, loopholes and tax havens to garner riches they didn't earn at the detriment to society at large.

They hoard money. They take advantage of their employees by paying them unlivable minimum wage and then they get a billion dollars or whatever. I don't judge them for not giving it away, I judge them for taking THAT much to begin with. And I'm talking about the 1% here.

How does one hoard money they earned? Scratch that how does someone even hoard money in the first place?

Can you explain what "hoard money" actually means? Most rich people are rich because of their companies and most of their wealth is equity in the company. The only way they could do anything other than 'hoard" it would be to literally sell off their company.

"It's their money, they should keep it" is exactly the mentality that's been keeping people oppressed and justified allowing rich people to dodge taxes and use their money to stay above the law and to pick and choose governments to legalise their debauchery.

If you saw 5 guys stranded in the desert and one of them finds a big cask of water in an abandoned caravan, you wouldn't insist that it's "his water, he should keep it all". It doesn't make sense, we live in a society where we can help each other. Too much money, and the power that comes with it, corrupts.

Everyone saying people hate rich folks for exploiting workers, and I agree.

I'd also add though that it's not really all their money. They get massive tax breaks and even, as we just saw during the pandemic, get huge assistance packages from our tax dollars.

If they're gonna beg us lower class folks for more money, then they have to start paying their fair share too.

@stevnev88 For example?

I'm a millionaire and got there through saving and investing my income as a nurse. I'm partially retired at 38 (I work 1/4 time) and will fully retire at 48. If my assets continue to grow at market averages I'll be worth about $8-10m by the time I'm 60. How did I exploit anyone?

"Like Bill Gates and Mr Beast" 😂😂😂
