Do any of you have a number in mind for the rest? What do you consider rich, wealthy? Do you have a sliding scale for the level of animosity, i.e. 500K=OK, 5mil=irritating, 10mil=disgust and so on?
The grade of animosity depends on the individual or the group in question. If they treat others like shit and influence politics to make them even richer by making others even poorer, my respect is very limited. If they line their pockets by trampling over other human beings, my respect is limited.
It doesn't depend on what they have. It depends on who they are and if they're hurting society at large. Respect is earned and just being rich isn't the way to earn it.
