Posted by Sir Four at 12:49pm Feb 1 '12I am curious....first of all, I don't think folks like Buffet, Gates, Soros, Turner, etc. have the views they hold due to envy of the rich.
So I guess only middle or working class liberals are envious? Is that the idea?
I can speak personally on the issue... I would make a terrible rich person. If I were to try living a rich man's lifestyle, the entire time I'd be thinking thoughts like this:
Is there any evidence that there exists widespread wealth envy among liberals, or is this just so much rhetorical BS spouted by the Right? Is it possible there's some projection going on, i.e. a certain type of conservative is so focused on money that they assume everyone else is, too?
