Very few self-identify as rich. Instead it’s people pointing at other people and saying “they can pay more”. I just think it’s always easy to spend other peoples money for them.

True.
Also, maybe most people that we call 'rich' are just rich on paper in terms of the assets they own. Its not like they have liquid sitting in the bank ready to pay taxes with.
How many rich people in Canada are only rich because of the real estate they own?
