Sycamore, by your narrow interpretation, it looks as though you are attempting to impose limits on the thinking and attitudes of others, apparently to prove some point - to yourself.
Your projection of "envy" onto others - which seems to be a need on your part - does not at all define them as envious. Your approach does not hold water - it does not work.
If a person is discouraged, disgusted, resentful, etc., etc. due to willful and corrupt misuse of his money (taxes imposed by the government), none of those positions/attitudes fit your envy theory. The fact that you are fixated on envy (consider that!) does not enable you to define others in the same fashion. Very weak position.
