Since you seem to define a pecking order at all, I would opine that your idea of a pecking order would place white straight males at the very bottom.
I don't have a pecking order. I take seriously the view that "all men are created equal".
Is it a crime to be successful?
No. But, from my perspective, you have not been particularly successful. The republicans despise people like you, except that they want your votes.
The only reason I pick back at you guys is because you hate the rich.
I don't hate the rich. However, I have no love for thieves or tax cheats. There are actually rich people who are not thieves or tax cheats, but they aren't the ones who control the current version of the Republican party.
To be honest, I've squandered a lot of money and am nearly poor.
Yes, we see that from your posts. The Republicans see you as one of the undeserving poor. They would like to take away your social security and medicare.
I get mad because I see so many people steal.
Some of us see a difference between poor people stealing to survive, and rich people stealing to get even richer. You see the poor people stealing, but you don't even notice the rich people stealing.
... and all I get out of the peanut gallery is "cry harder, snowflake".
Nobody here is saying that. At most we are trying to wake you up and to persuade you to stop stabbing yourself in the back.
