My statement that "your hatred of the rich is obvious" because of how your
messages seem to attribute any "benefit" to the rich at the full cost of the
activity. For instance if the government builds a road, then the rich should
pay for the cost? You completely ignore that the poor and the middle case
also receive nontrivial benefits from road construction.

Also there is the matter of tone. In the same way that Kaz's hatred is
obvious from his message, even though he might not specifically state that
he hates everyone except himself, your hatred is obvious from the tone of
your messages. Notice how you lash out at those that disagree with you.

The value judgment on your part is clear in the following tirade:
