I'm classist to a degree. I don't think upperclass people are necessarily better than middle/lowerclass people, but certainly on a broad sterotype the upperclass probably have better material possessions, more professional careers, and higher ambitions.

But there's no reason to dislike someone simply based on their socioeconomic status in life...

I think thats a broad generalization. There are a lot of rude and disrespectful people that happen to have a lot of money, but being wealthy is not a prerequisite for being a crappy person. I'd also argue there's little correlation there, but I think its more obvious and certainly easier to dislike someone who has more money than you or me. However its just as easy to generalize the poor as being lazy, irresponsible leeches on society that typically steal, lie, and cheat to get by. I might point out that the majority of the county's prison population is from the lower-class but no one thinks that means lower-class people are any less of people.

Why should I discriminate based on financial standings when its more fun to discriminate against stupidity.

I dont like people who generalize, thats about it.

So, if you dont like the upper-class, middle-class or lower-class, I dont like you

If you met me and never knew the contents of my account then I doubt you would feel so angry towards people based solely on their financial situation.

There are assholes in every walk of life and every financial category...money doesn't necesarily dictate a persons attitude.
