Hi,

I cannot read Chinese in my computer so I scan through all the messages to look for the English msg. What you said totally agree with what I am thinking right now. I've met a lot of people in the past few months who have this kind of hatred against rich people. They think that rich people act a certain kind of ways and will take advantage of people and situation to enrich themselves. This is not necessary true. There are lots of rich people out there who got to this stage of prosperity by their EFFORT. They are discipline in what they do, hard-working, etc...to get to their stage. What is wrong with hard-working and discipline then?

I think the underpriviledged people should definitely think why they are in this situation BEFORE they start hating other people. They should question why they are where they are and if there are any opportunities to get out of their situation. This is a more productive approach.
