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.

I've never met a man or women who improved their standing in life by beetching and moaning about what someone else has that they don't and how that person should be given something they didn't earn.
I do no many people that have become wealthy because they spent years and years gaining valuable skills and then worked very hard for years and years.
Perhaps a more poingent article would be work ethic inequality, or if you want to become successful don't wait around for the government to hand you someone elses wealth.

It's the guys who know how to think and write that I admire here.
Who they be! Send em out. There are a lot here that grunt and belch bullshit in unison. Said the pot to the kettle. Mag, forgot you just fart a lot!
The end of democracy, and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations.

CCCC, You can go back and check, I'm not the one who brings up "class envy". I'm just saying envy is not the same as "class envy", and "class envy" swings both ways. The fact that that makes some people on here so darned uncomfortable is telling. Sycamore
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....

I agree with your first two points, for the third one, it is best to hire a lobbyist, to build you a subsidy, or grant a tax-advantage, that beats waiting around all-to-heck!  Sycamore

Lott That and lying are the main skills of Tyrant Obama and his progressive fascist crew. They bitch an moan and lie about how others are successful and how unfair it is to the poor in order to win their support. Then they get rich through corruption while in office.

Odd how this is a huge topic now that Obamacare flamed out so visibly. Oh look, Shiny! and the gullible stumble forward staring at the new object that their betters threw in their path.
Broncos are officially the worst team in the nation this year.
