I will admit that I do. I'm not afraid to say that.
Work ethic is a virtue. Those who inherited their wealth inherently lack that; they never had to survive. They had opportunities those of us who were born into poorer families would need extreme luck to get. Legacy admissions to elite universities, and connections to major corporations, to get them a pass into high-paying careers of their own. Investment seed money to cover expensive startup costs because "it takes money to make money."
It is my business. I don't want to be stuck poor all my life because everyone ignores me in favor of the rich kid whose dad is friends with an entertainment company CEO. We don't have equal opportunity in this country and we haven't had it in a long time. At least poor women can marry up; a poor guy just gets looked down upon. That affects my ability to have a family of my own.
We like to romanticize the bootstrap ideal. But it's just not true. The rich get richer and the poor get stuck chasing a standard of living that's getting further and further out of reach. The rich can buy up all the available real estate, then rent it out to the poor can't even find a starter home for under six figures.
That said... does left-wing policy solve that problem? Of course not. You can raise income taxes all you want; the ones with all the wealth already have found their way around it and it just keeps any who might be lucky enough to break into that club otherwise from doing so. I don't see them proposing any new housing projects.
I absolutely judge people who were born into rich families as unfit to understand people like me.
It can be done
@jmyrlefuller In today's world it is difficult, but I've known kids who have dropped out of college, landed a job, climbed the ladder and successfully purchased a home, succeeding in their workplace. No I can't say that they are overly wealthy, but they live a decent life.
I've also known kids that came from poor families struggled to do well in high school, obtained a full scholarship and went on to great success.
I've also seen the flipside, where kids were handed luxury cars, good educations and good jobs that their parents were able to get them and they fell flat on their faces. Pretty much down and out for the rest of their lives experiencing very little success.
Let me just say one thing; don't judge yourself by how much money you have or don't have, judge yourself by how you treat others and help out someone in need.
Case in point; I had a neighbor who was a double amputee who lived in an apartment in our neighborhood. He lived on disability. I would occasionally talk to him and one day when I stopped to talk to him he noticed that I had no jacket and it was chilly out. He wheeled himself back to his house and next time he saw me he handed me his jacket. Probably the only one he owned by the looks of it. His act of compassion was humbling; that was a greater gift than the jacket. He was wealthy in compassion and kindness; far more wealthy than others.
You mention people who are unfit to understand people like you. ??? How about you need to love and respect yourself for who you are; that needs to happen before you find love and respect from others. Just sayin'.
