How do you view the rich?

I think of Shark Tank, and many of them are complete assholes. On TV, the first thing they do is crack jokes on inventors and people with new businesses. Who the fuck are they? It's beyond rude to sit there and crack jokes about someone else's passions. If I was on that show, and Mark Cuban or Barbara cracked a joke on me, I would go off. It's really disrespectful.

The other part of it is the double standard. In most cases, the Rich want the best, but then try to pay their own employees the least and cut corners. So, it's like, a rich person going to a restaurant and demanding the best of everything and being overly rude about it, while equally running a restaurant elsewhere and pushing the management and profits down to the penny forcing them to hire idiots and have shit grade food. It's all a double standard.

Now, I have both waited on and met many many famous rich people, and they are all very kind overall, as they know how hard it is to be famous, and how important their reputation is to them as famous people. Now, non-famous rich people generally fall into those who are very understanding, and those who are not. Those who are not are really nasty.
