Exactly. Because the "elites" are snobs. (Differentiating here between the so-called elites and the successful people who stay down-to-earth.)
Snobs look down their noses at certain jobs, for example. They cannot accept that most people are content living and working where they do. That worker earning an hourly wage might have a lot of money squirrelled away, and maybe his house is paid off. He's probably satisfied with the choices he's made. But many Democrats are such snobs that they cannot accept that. Many protesters claim to have college degrees, or they're college students. Notice how they heckle the police officers. They call the police "dumb." Among those arrested for committing violence were lawyers and a software engineer. All of these snobbish people felt entitled to riot in the neighborhoods they look down upon.
>>>"Most poor people understand why they’re poor. They realize that they may not be as capable or talented as those that are better off, or if they do have the abilities but fate has them starting at a lower rung on the ladder, know that if they strive they can improve their lot."<<<
It's mostly about hard work and choices. Opportunities abound for everyone in this country. Good old fashioned common sense pays off.
About 30 years ago, a Mexican family would come in and clean the offices where I worked. They'd vacuum, clean the toilets, and so on. Got to talking with them and found out they owned a big house in the wealthiest section of town. Later, I worked with a Mensa member who had a lot of personal problems.
“Exactly. Because the “elites” are snobs.”
This breed of elitists are far worse than snobs. They are the bleeding heart activists who are racked by guilt pangs at the sight of someone doing better than another. And they will do anything to enrage the “poor” to destroy anybody that’s doing a bit better. They are envy mongers.
They are the vilest people in existence.
