Victims indeed. I think the most noticeable trait among people like this is their amazing lack of gratitude.

Psychologists say only people who see themselves as victims can become true monsters. Their focus on their own personal little hurts is what enables them to be lacking in empathy for others.

Their self-image as a victim gives them the sense of entitlement needed to justify their anti-social behavior - to themselves and others like them.

....Little do they know that not too many folks under 50 have much empathy for their situation.....

I'm under fifty and empathy I have. I believe your assumptions are wrong. I've friends well under fifty and they feel as I do. Their property tax felt high at time of purchase but they understand they will be protected in the years to come.

.....These house-rich people just don't have a clue as to the day to day economic issues that regular people.....

Don't you own two residences Lizzie? I recall that you do. Both were around a 1M each when you bought as tax shelters/rentals. Are you one of these 'regular' people?
