Why do 'liberals' seem to scorn wealth and treat it as if it is unethical to be wealthy?

Asked by birdland33 (1567points) November 12th, 2010

Wealth is a word that is scorned by liberals, yet in the same breath they say money is something to be ashamed of they say you need to stay in school so you can get a better job.

What is the reason for the disdain of wealth? why is it acceptable for the likes of John Kerry and Michael Moore, both of whom have bank accounts of tens of millions of dollars, to make people who disagree with their political ideologies out to be anything less than just as righteous as they?
