I'd agree in America most people want to grow their own wealth. Im not sure where an adversity to others doing the same comes from though. I do pretty well for myself (always a bigger fish), I've never wanted anyone around me to make less though. I don't understand what mentality would want that. I'm a power plant operator, when I hear XYZ career makes XYZ much Im always like "hell yeah get that bag". Anyone who wants other people to do poorly is a shitty person.
I mean yes. If youre a normal good person you want other people to succeed.
Until it means them building low income housing directly across the street from your house. Ill admit, I am in the camp that would hate this (i dont want my shit stolen, and i want to be able to walk my dog in peace).
Lemmy will crucify me for this but sorry its the truth. Just like bus stops (in my city) are only used by homeless and drug users and are not safe places to hang around. Thats just how it is, im not saying those people are evil or bad.
