This what I mean, you haven't spent any quality time with the enemy. If this person collects the rent in person and lends you his truck he is not one of the self-appointed masters of the universe. They do not do that sort of thing. I have made the acquaintance of several of these assholes and in person they are not just like everyone else, they are self-important pricks with a huge sense of entitlement and a general loathing of people they deem beneath them. Being worth a million or a few and collecting a handful of rents isn't really what I'm on about.

I wouldn't begin to know how I could or couldn't be morally superior to another human being. Besides if they really can't help being pricks as you claim how can you be morally superior to people who can't be other than what they currently are?

Sure I could, they sell marshmallows at the local grocers.
