The crazy part is that even those that are poor themselves think like this. Maybe you read the story about some nazi asshole that opened a gofundme page to treat his injuries after a riot because he couldn't afford healthcare. It's hilariously ironic. So I think a big part of this belief is the illusion that theoretically anybody can get rich in the capitalist system. This "just work hard and you'll be rich eventually" bullshit that so many people still believe. They prefer having an immensely unfair distribution of wealth with the chance they could be the rich person at some point rather than having a fair distribution of wealth. And if they're part of the poor majority it's obviously the fault of foreigners and evil leftists and not managers and CEOs earning millions.

I wonder how many broke capitalists are aware enough to repent on their death beds once they can no longer deny that they won't one day make it rich.
