> convenient fiction that wealthy people (in the US) tell themselves, is that poor people are "lazy"

just like all poor people aren't lazy, so too all wealthy people don't think this.

Never said they did. Interesting read of what I wrote…

You wrote wealthy people tell themselves that poor people are lazy.

Yes, I did. There’s a word that was inserted into what I actually wrote.

By that logic, it is then accurate to say poor people are lazy.

		I like the transition from “I have an issue with what you said” to “I have an issue with what I imagine you said” after getting clarification That aside the statement was fine as written. For example it takes deliberate and active misunderstanding to twist the statement “people eat meat” into “there aren’t any vegetarians”

		Sure. Knock yourself out. I won’t lose any sleep over it.

he wrote "many" wealthy people, not all.

		To be fair, I added that, after being called on it. It was a fair point, but I also didn't mean "all," so I just clarified the meaning.
