"All rich people are selfish and stingy"
This statement could not be farther from the truth. How can it be when there are people like Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey, who give millions of dollars away to charity. They take their own money, which they work hard to earn, and give it to the less fortunate. Bill Gates and his wife help to prevent the spread of disease in Africa. Oprah built her own school for underprivileged girls. How can these people be selfish and stingy?
I know what you're all thinking: But what about the super-spoiled rich people on shows like the Real Housewives and in books like the Clique? I totally agree that they are (or act anyway) completely spoiled and out of touch with the real world. They are selfish and nasty to people, even those who they consider friends. They are stingy about gifts - rating if they were expensive enough.
So I get it. The media likes to portray the rich as Stingy. Selfish. And Stupid. Don't get me wrong - some are; just like in any economic class. But to say that all rich people selfish and stingy is a huge generalization. And it is wrong for many people.
