Dig a little most lefties don’t intuitively grasp Econ 101. So rich people qualitatively are those who have taken from others. Of course, opponents, forgetting there is no ‘pure’free market, often forget many rich people have their positions due precisely to unearned political rents to some degree. So some naturally get pissed off when they see economic inequality, and are sometimes wrong in their assumptions about its causal nature, while others do not get pissed off though they should be since it was unearned, at least economically.

I Don’t Empathize with the Leftist Mind
September 12th, 2018 3:52 PM [I] just don’t understand the envy of the leftist mind. I mean, I am not tall enough to play major sports, or run a fortune 500 company for that matter. I have a touch of autism that prevents me from doing many things. I’ve been severely ill for large parts of my life. But I never really envy anyone other than the ordinary middle class guy who finds entertainment and joy in life’s simple pleasures, family and friends. I mean I looked up to people and tried to imitate them. I tried to learn from many people. I worked far harder than most people can imagine. But envy? What is wrong with the ‘equalitarian’ mind?

—“The middle class didn’t care when it was the underclass being culled. But our elites have conspired with a hostile outgroup to profit in the destruction of the middle also. Individualism in markets, but collectivism in government to impose the ban on free riding, fraud, and moral hazard to restore the relative profitability of the benevolent elite again compared to the industries of genocidal traitors.”—Joseph Smith

—“There are too many examples of how the short-sighted, or medium-sighted, values of our commercial elite conflict with the long-term values of the genetic and cultural group. This isn’t a new phenomenon but its effects have been amplified since the industrial revolution and our defenses have not kept pace with or adequately utilized the technological advances of the day. The influence of the commercial sector is vast and restraints on it are ineffective. An additional problem is that since the death of god and the disintegration of our religious institutions, we perceive profit in wholly materialistic terms. I think your emphasis on an expanded appreciation of property may be an antidote to this aspect of the problem.”— Tim Spillane
Commercialism (Unregulated Capitalism) = Universalism at the expense of the people who make such commerce possible.
