America’s wealthiest people are also some of the world’s biggest polluters – not only because of their massive homes and private jets, but because of the fossil fuels generated by the companies they invest their money in.

    Envy and jealousy will get you nowhere in life. Strive to do better. Maybe join the upper classes through hard work and sacrifice?

      We already work and strife more than those upper classes ever would in their entire life.

      How about those upper classes pay their due taxes instead of using loopholes to be a leach on society?

      Either that or we eat them.

        The wealthy do pay a lot of taxes. How about cutting spending instead? Oh…THAT. Never seems to come up though.

        Curious also: are you really going to eat rich people? For dinner? Then what? Keep eating your way down until you reach the middle class? Envy and jealousy are a burden, my friend.
