"you" == "a few wealthy people"

praptak | karma 15016 | avg karma 4.7 · | 2015-08-26 16:49:11+00:00

It's not "you" who is very rich.

you are rich

'rich' people?

smilekzs | karma 1163 | avg karma 2.38 · | 2022-12-22 04:03:03

You too are conflating wealth ("rich people") and income ("me").

What's your definition of "the rich"?

Does it include yourself?

fugalfervor | karma 105 | avg karma 1.98 · | 2022-03-18 19:06:30

No, you're rich.

dave_sullivan | karma 3925 | avg karma 4.6 · | 2014-04-14 03:21:54+00:00

The rich are different than you and I; they have more money?

You're literally on the "rich people are better than" site

fomine3 | karma 4883 | avg karma 0.96 · | 2022-12-22 19:39:32

You're talking as a richer person.

Edman274 | karma 633 | avg karma 4.95 · | 2022-02-03 10:53:07

The rich are different from you and me. (Yes, they have more money.)

duncan_bayne | karma 4002 | avg karma 1.91 · | 2017-05-28 20:03:26

Where "some people" always means "those just a bit richer than I am", right? ;)

freyfogle | karma 1754 | avg karma 6.03 · | 2013-01-21 12:42:05+00:00

Rich people

rich people

AlexTWithBeard | karma 2020 | avg karma 2.11 · | 2019-07-16 12:27:05+00:00

Usually "we" means "the rich".

And "the rich" usually means "everyone having more money than I do".

mulmen | karma 13520 | avg karma 2.38 · | 2023-05-29 13:35:55

That usage is not unique to rich people.

em500 | karma 5680 | avg karma 4.59 · | 2020-09-06 19:20:23

Yeah, what people mean when they say "the rich" is "richer than me".

082349872349872 | karma 9379 | avg karma 1.15 · | 2022-12-11 15:42:46

because you and the actually rich people are not appearing to the same audience.
