Have you all noticed that rich and wealthy people most always are portrayed in a negative light? Why the fuck is this?

I always here the evil shit they are doing, how they are robbing people, doing this and that. I know subconsciously I don't accept this knowing all rich people, or people with money are not like this, but is there a certain reason why this is? Where are the stories of rich and wealthy people doing positive things?! Or is this just the job of journalism?

how about how M.J. gave tons of money to Africa? Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarty have that autism foundation- they were the ones that helped that cheerleader that got screwed by the swine flu vaccine. Manny Pacquiao gives money to charity- I believe it was to bantai batan, the orphanage. Movado donated computers to a school in Jamaica. Rage against the Machine did at least one benefit concert I know of- to help the farmers in L.A to keep their land- don't remember the name of the farm, but it was unique because they were growing on urban land.

With all due respect what about the people who are not classified as rich and do these deeds? Why is it that a camera must be present for every good deed? Heck- I don't have a lot of money, yet I do positive things for people and organizations all the time. Do I need to run to the Dherbs site after every deed and say "Hey yall look what I've done?!!"

The Creator knows the good things you do for the people of the world. No one should have to prove to anyone how generous they are or how much they have to give. The Creator sees it all, and the Universe will bless you accordingly.

One last thing - why do we spend so much time and energy talking about other people doing great things - why don't we follow them in giving as well?

Subconscious programming that having a lot of money is bad, sinful -- therefore, don't aspire to rich and wealthy because the money will corrupt you, make you do evil/bad things!

Haters.

Bottomline. It's pretty cut and dry.

What's funny is the lottery winners. Who win a lot but are hood rich and waste it all in a month or so. Then they realize that the rich have to work just to keep what they have as much as others work to make what they have. Keeping it takes just as much skill and work as making it.

The average joe sixpack hates the wealthy, but doesn't want to spend the time doing the things the wealthy do, he rather just let his job handle his retirement 401k(rap). Then spend the meantime at the bar watching football.
