Letter: It's OK to resent the rich
To the editor:
Concerning Mr. Edwards' recent letter ("Enough already with the assault on wealth", July 15, 2026, letter to the editor by Jay P. Edwards of Tiverton), the rich may have obtained their wealth by shrewd investments, good ideas, business acumen and (possibly) hard work.
They also got their (our) money by practicing unfair competition, creating monopolies, dodging their fair share of taxes, price gouging, exploiting their employees, pushing the middle class towards poverty, and bribery (sorry, I meant 'campaign contributions' - thank you, Supreme Court).
All of these activities our federal and state governments have connived at or actively abetted.
That is why we resent the rich and super-rich.
