I think some cast me an eye of resentment that the taxes they pay are being given to support someone being lazy and unwilling to work. Attempts to educate them falls on deaf ears.
But do they actually say it to you or you assume they look down on you? I make ok money but I don't look down on those who don't and I don't think those richer than me look down on me. Do you have proof that they look down on you? Perhaps you just feel that what happens? And I think you can make good money and still have good values and you can be poor and be a horrible human being. One isn't related to another.
