I'd never heard that before, and it makes sense. <br /><br />As far as envy of the rich, I don't blame the French masses one bit; nor do I blame the poor Iranians. But in both those cases, the poor were resentful against people who had done little to nothing to gain their wealth. But those are a whole different matter from the resentment we see in the US these days, where the low-IQed anticapitalist crowd resents the higher-IQed, harder working middle class, and that resentment is mixed in with racial animosity, because of the current propaganda spewed by the MSM telling all non-Asian minorities that they should be resentful of whites because they're white. Rich Iranians are basically the people whose families had the right connections to get in on the oil money; that's hardly a question of merit.<br /><br />In the US, envy of those who are smart enough and studious enough to do well on their LSAT's or MCAT's is an entirely different matter.

It seems easier to simply attribute blame to the fat cats ( looking at you Bernie and Pocahontas). The French Revolution had it share of fun with the rich . but one thing not often brought up is the food crisis in 1788 in France where the masses were starving. But there is some speculation the volcanic eruptions in Iceland in 1783 from the volcano Laki dispersed ash over europe inhibiting the crops from growing. But the envy of the well off has been around since the cavemen noticed the cavemen next door had a new Lexus. I don't think we are <br />close to beheading rich people but the left sure is thinking of ways to take from the rich and blame the wealthy for all their woes. <br /><br />https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/apr/15/iceland-volcano-weather-french-revolutionDave Moriartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280611549973778922noreply@blogger.com
