OT: Psychological condiction of those who hate others having wealth

Two forms; Socialist, being the least severe, often treated with behavioral therapy and communist a more severe disorder and more difficult to treat, electroshock therapy is sometimes helpful. Mike ;-)

Blue collar worker?

You need to see if your local library has a DSM IV.

With a quick glance at Google, the closest pigeonhole I can find is: (drum roll please......)

Adjustment Disorder -- Unspecified

The spiritual term is sin:

"Thou shalt not covet"

All of socialism is built on a complete rejection of one of the ten commandments.

Maybe resentment?

These treatments actually WORK on congress critters and the like?

Obama desciple?

One? You need to look more carefully. Isn't there one that says: "Thou shall not steal" as well? When you take from someone without their consent that's stealing, and that is what Obama proposes...

"We didn't truly know the dangers of the market, because it was a dark market," says Brooksley Born, the head of an obscure federal regulatory agency -- the Commodity Futures Trading Commission [CFTC] -- who not only warned of the potential for economic meltdown in the late 1990s, but also tried to convince the country's key economic powerbrokers to take actions that could have helped avert the crisis.

Greenspan, Rubin and Summers ultimately prevailed on Congress to stop Born and limit future regulation of derivatives. "Born faced a formidable struggle pushing for regulation at a time when the stock market was booming," Kirk says. "Alan Greenspan was the maestro, and both parties in Washington were united in a belief that the markets would take care of themselves."

Greenspan, Rubin and Summers alone with Phil Gramm created the greatest meltdown in US history.

Even Greenspan said to congress, "I was wrong"

Wealth is not the problem, fraud is.

Watch it your self:

PS: Watch Greenspan squirm at the end.

The usual word for it is 'envy'. One of the seven deadly sins, as has been pointed out--just look at what it does to those suffering it. Of course it's somewhat less bad than pride, which tends to afflict the rich even more than the poor.

Envy.

Hope This Helps! Rich

It can also be a motivator (as most emotions are) e.g. "I envy him for what he has, so how do I go about getting the same for myself?" ;-)

Cheers! Rich

Yeah - Thou Shalt Not Steal.

Cheers! Rich

Paranoia?

Thanks, Rich

I object to "shock therapy" because it's nothing but thinly veiled torture: "Stop being crazy, and we'll stop torturing you!"

Thanks, Rich
