I'll go first: The Aston Martin Special Edition Pram

It's a $3,000 stroller.

Nothing wrong with the top ten percent. It's the 1% within who have political ambition and bollocks ideas that can bring down the shop on the little guys here and there. The trouble with corporate or crony capitalism cannot be rectified by hating alone anyway. Requires intelligent strategy to overcome.

I was rather hoping for reasons that didn't amount to "they have money and they spend it".
100% verifiable facts or your money back. Anti-fascist. Enemy of woo - theistic or otherwise. Cloth is not an antiviral. Imagination and fantasy is no substitute for tangible reality. Wishing doesn't make it real.

Suddenly this guy needs a better reason to hate someone than the fact that they've bought an Aston Martin stroller. Do you think we've identified a bias here?

Conspicuous consumption is for nouveau riche assholes. Old money doesn't flaunt it.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

If you have $US57,400 to spare you can buy a solid gold phone. No email, internet or camera. Perhaps they are extra?

There's no non-excellent reasons to hate the wealthy. They're all excellent. :prof:

I don't agree - on a semi-serious note. None of these guys is squeeky clean I'm sure, but the like of Bill Gates do a great deal of good.

The wealth creators who created all that wealth (the gap between pay and productivity) have been trickling it all back down on to us like a golden shower. Don't you feel enriched, Hermit?

They can suffer their fate. Nobody likes them. So they play croquet among other rich people who also hate them.
