why rich people alway stingy?

I don't think rich people are always stingy.  Bill Gates and Oprah, two of the richest people in the world, donate millions of dollars to good causes.

Wow there are people like "rich" in the world!?\n\nJust when you thought it was ok to go outside.

The only true way to be a rich person is to be content!! If one is never content with what the have, no matter how much they make, they can never beome a rich person but a greedy person!\n\nRemember, the man who couldn't stop complaining that he didn't have any shoes until he saw another man with no feet!!

I suppose it's because people in our world today base their respect on money. The more you have it, the more superior you are... It's awful, really. Even if they're poor, they still go buy expensive things which they can't really afford, just so they could brag about something.

I have never been rich, but I know it won't make you happy. Lottery winners, once the initial excitement wears off,  are some of the unhappiest people around. Once your basic needs are met, the rest is not going to make your happier.

u speak this way bcs u are not rich and don't think u can become. \nyes i want to be rich!\ni want to have best life and for that u need money! lots of money!!!!\ni also want to do many good things with the money, like help in Africa, like support poor people and help them get up on there feet. \nit's true we are just visitors and with money we can only buy material things which we cant take with us, and still, now I'm here and as long as I'm here i want the best i can get and give for me and for as many people as possible.

Because Rich people always want everything and can just go out and buy it, no having to question how it will effect them, and poor people always appreciate what they have because they have to work so hard to get it. I know I was happier when I was a single mom making squat. Now it just seems that I have $$ and can have more things easier and it doesn't seem to be as much a a thrill to get things.

Having known people who are rich and some who are not so rich, I don't find the average rich person to be any sadder than the average poor person. Maybe even slightly happier as they don't have to worry every day  how they are going to feed their kids or pay the doctor bills. \n\nI find that the perception that rich people are sad to be largely in the wishful minds of those who covet their wealth.\n\nBy the way, why is this question in the Math section? Are you trolling?

We all can't get rich because most of us aren't willing to take the risks and put in the long hours it take to get rich.

the theory is the more money people have that they aren't giving in taxes, the more they'll have to invest in the economy. but the tax laws are written in such a way that the rich are able to use loophole after loophole with the poor and middle class putting up the rest of the cash the rich would have normally paid.

If you can get away with not paying your workers you will be wealthy. It is an investment, albeit an immoral one.

Generally, people are concerned more about THEMSELVES than they are about anything else. That means until you are sure the rent is paid, there's food on the table and the kids are okay, you don't pay much attention to anything else. \n\nThe rich obviously have money and with money comes power. The rich use their money to influence political agendas that benefit them, with little thought of the "everyman"\n\nAs far as WHY we entrust them, I don't believe we do.  It's just that most of us don't know how, or are too lazy or self-interested to make ourselves and our opinions heard...

People have it way worse then you. You're rich compared to people in poorer countries. Think of them starving, next time you think it's the end of the world when you can't buy the newest camera phone. Money isn't everything.

Because they are lazy yet greedy

Because affluent people tend to socialize around activities, like sailing or tennis, and can afford to travel and pay for those activites, while people with modest incomes make do with the people around them.\n\nNeither is better than the other - the poorer people have a greater sense of community in the immediate nearby sense, while the affluent people combine their business networking in with things they like to do, because they can afford to.\n\nAt least, that's the way I see it.

Makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. Hurts more than helps.
