Why we give respect to Rich and no-respect to poor?

[NeedsMoreBTC]

No money = no respect
Money = yes respect
Gun = with respect
No Gun = no respect
No money for gun = come on!

That means, if you have no money, you get a gun.

Dont confuse respect with fear.

Because it's human nature to respect success. Even animals display forms of appreciation for success. There is a type of crow where the female only goes to the male nest with the shiniest objects. Very primal if you ask me. There's not much to the explanation. Being rich is associated with success and successful people are respected in general.

you cant respect people for being rich.

You can only respect people who are open minded, clever and all in all a loving human being. only coincidence is that those people usually are rich.

for example, what respect you can have for someone who has won the money in lottery... bla bla/..

Nevertheless, most respect today is fear. You respect your boss because your afraid you might get fired. You respect your mom because you are afraid she might scold you, you respect the elders because you are afraid that you might be criticized by society.. meh

Its the choice of each one of us. If you choose to respect the rich and less respect to the poor that is your problem. The problem is not about money, the problem is in the people.

[ihuntbtc]

Because people is delusional.

MOney = respect and so as fear = respect but no money no respect.

Because the poor don't want respect. They just want a job, wife, kids, house, and 2 cars.

Because the poor don't want respect. They just want a job, wife, kids, house, and 2 cars.

That's pretty stupid thing to say. Everyone wants to be treated with respect regardless income.

[fredthegambler]

Because the rich has the money. There are many things money can buy, including respect.

Damn right it does.

From Atlas Shrugged :

Money will not purchase happiness for the man who has no concept of what he wants; money will not give him a code of values, if he's evaded the knowledge of what to value, and it will not provide him with a purpose, if he's evaded the choice of what to seek. Money will not buy intelligence for the fool, or admiration for the coward, or respect for the incompetent.

If you don't know a person, then stereotype are important to value someone quickly without knowing him.
The rich being competent and courageous (entrepreneur) is the stereotype of the rich.

So in this sense, Money buys respect and admiration.
But it is impossible that such person can buy admiration and respect for people who knows him (his workers, family, friends, partners), stereotype being discarded quickly after initial valuation of the person.

The question of this thread is more about the stereotype : Why such stereotype for the rich exists at all ? Why such stereotype for the poor exists at all ?

It's a matter of culture and how society influences your perception of the world, we are full of paradigms we don't even recognize if we don't think about them. A rich person is often seen as a realized one, someone who fullfilled his dreams and lived a useful life, while a poor man doesn't do anything for society, to merit a place in this world. It's really sad to think people really believe someone should earn his place on earth.

Because rich can demand respect. If the poor demands respect they are laughed at.

[Morecoin Freeman]

Skills pay the bills.

[mrkent]

I have a rational reason for this.

Money is a consensus on Value (blog post of context). Someone with money would suggest that society deems him valuable. It would make sense to show respect someone society has deemed valuable, especially before knowing the person further.

[Bit N Roll]

Skills pay the bills.

What if he got no skills but is the son of Bill Gates?

[Q7]

Not necessarily true. If the rich earns his gain through proper and legitimate means, we respect because of his hard work and wisdom that earns him the wealth. If the rich earns via illegal means through harm caused to others then he don't deserve any of the respect.

Likewise, if one is poor but is hardworking but because of limitation due to education but is humble, kind, caring and giving, then he deserves all the respect, same like what the rich deserves. If a person is poor due to his laziness, then why respect him?

It's false what you want to tell. I know some people which respect poor and they do charity to this. But, best reason that all of us give respect to Rich is that rich is powerful and we can have possibility (giving respect) to have favour in future. If you have two friends, you give respect to more popular, rich, ecc. because you can get some advantage from it. From the other friend, you can get only friendship, but I prefer this ultimate (real friendship).
