WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?

@calvinj Perhaps it's because a lot of people hate the rich. Because once people get that rich, something is out of whack. This happened in the French Revolution. 

I'm not saying that's correct the correct attitude to have. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with 81 billionaires having more wealth than 50% of the world combined, or the fact that they are taxed the least (only 4 cents in every dollar of global tax revenue coming from wealth taxes).

No, I'm not saying anything is wrong with this picture at all. But some people are annoyed about this, so when they see examples of "conspicuous consumption," it triggers them.

@hilde45 i agree with you on that I come from very humble beginnings. Built my law firm starting with $1500 I’m in my 21st year of business. I definitely understand. The cost of some items to some people are just not how they see the world and money. I can respect that.

@hilde45 at first I said I would never now I am! Lol. Definitely understand 

Lots of the different views on these threads have always been here, but the rhetoric has certainly gotten much nastier the last few years...and yes, many researchers believe Dunning-Kruger operates in both directions...ultimately, I believe it's just  sad ...

Perhaps, but these haters never seem particularly blissful.
