The only people who still fetishize and defend billionaires are the people who live under the delusion that one day they’ll become one. 

These are my principles. If you don't like them, well, I have others

Is there a name for this phenomenon? I’m always amazed when people in terrible financial circumstances vote against things that would help them because one day they “may” be rich. I’ve never understood this.

very American, but not *only* American. Many non-US people here think they’re gonna make it one day too

In general, modern life is all about the end result rather than doing things for the process

lol, sad but true. 

Maybe “American dream” phenomenon is more close to reality.
