The main reason people have views opposed to this one is because the rich have created the narrative that if someone below you is getting more than they “deserve”, it’s because they’re taking it from you.
Well there is a certain kind of person that believes firmly it's okay to be spat on as long as there is someone below you to hurt in turn. It's a pretty large part of the population, in America at least

You're being kind here and giving them the benefit of the doubt...
Rich people who complain about minimum wage being too high need poor people to constantly be overworked, underpaid, and worried that they will lose their homes because otherwise they, the rich people, won't feel superior anymore and then they'll be sad.
That's literally all it is.
They genuinely think anyone who doesn't make as much money as them is supposed to be unhappy and they can't handle it if that's not the case
Isn't it more that if you're overworked, underpaid and worrying about losing everything you won't be asking silly questions like...why are rich people rich, where does their money come from and why am I working so hard for them to have a comfortable life
For some like the Koch brothers sure, the few who are smart enough to attempt systemic change for the worse are and to think that far ahead. The average rich cunt isn't that smart, in fact they are actually kinda fucking stupid. The other guy is totally right, lots of animals pretending to be human need to hurt others to fill the void where a soul would go.
