32. You judge people whom you deem to be "poor" as being unworthy of the benefits of modern technology.
And you also judge them to be too "fat" - as if they waste the resources that we so condescendingly grant to them. This is the epitome of objectivist thinking: those that have wealth are the only people that matter; everyone else is barely human & only exist to serve the elites.

What you don't get (and what objectivists refuse to acknowledge) is that to the top 1% who own 60% of this country the poor - those sorry suckers who don't work enough (in your opinion) & who are too fat (in your opinion) & consume for too much for their socio-economic station (in your opinion) - those poor people ARE THE SAME AS YOU and 95% of everyone else. YOU ARE POOR! Anyone a couple rungs up on the economic food chain can make the same obtuse judgments about you, and they'd be just as correct in doing so - which is not at all.

If you don't like being tagged as a Rand fan, stop repeating their myths.
