    The average business owner maybe, but I think by the time you get to Jeff Bezos levels of avarice he knows he’s not on the side of good.

      Lmfao, you seriously underestimate the cognitive dissonance it takes to function at that level. If anything, he’s probably even more convinced that he is the saviour of humanity than some random business owner.

        Yeah, rich people tend to think that they’re good, skilled, smart (and not exceptionally lucky) people.

        They worked hard because they wanted to support their families. They give their families good lives. They helped many other people get wealthy. They pay shareholders (aka. other wealthy people) and workers (aka. people who don’t work as hard as them). They pay their taxes accounts. They’re so giving!

          So giving! And so honest, which is why you guys know exactly how they think. They’re happy to tell us all about it.
