I just think it's how willing the wealthy are to share and help poorer people out.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to hang onto some expendable income and spend some money on yourself, especially if you've really worked hard all your life for it. However, I have a problem with people who have employees they insist on paying minimum wage, when they themselves earn more money than they can ever possibly spend. Would it kill you to cut your income just a bit to give your employees (who your business would sink without) a wage they can live more sustainably on? Probably not.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
