I don't think hatred will solve the problem. However, I strongly disagree with ycheun2 that "There are lots of rich people out there who got to this stage of prosperity by their EFFORT" and "the underpriviledged people should definitely think why they are in this situation BEFORE they start hating other people"

This kind of sayings in "TOO SIMPLE, SOMETIME NAIVE". Are you aware of the institutionalization of poverty? The rich gets richer not only becoz of their "effort", the govt and certain govt agenda also allow this to happen. Do you really believe everyone has "upward mobility" if they "try hard" enough?

You are also discriminating against the poor. They also put in their EFFORT. Their money is BLOOD MONEY. If you are working now, I hope you are not a white collar. There is a new phenonmena "white collar sweat shop". Everyone OTs. But is our life really better? I wonder.

All I want to say is HATRED is not right in any society, it is a crime. Getting rich is not a crime, if you are not making other suffers for you. But your view of the rich making "effort" and the poor "deserves" their situation is certainly very narrowed. Again, many ppl work very hard and struggle on a shameful wage.
