Bad: my BDSM group is only open to people who have "above average incomes"
Worse: my BDSM group only allows lower income people to be subs.
Really Ugly: We think that this is the natural order, and legislation must be enacted to keep it this way.
What the original email sender seems to overlook: times change. In his lifetime, my grandfather went from independantly wealthy, to destitute during the depression, and back to semi-wealthy again. My parents went through that same arc several times. (When you are a farm family, a stretch of bad weather can gut your livelyhood time and again.)
This guy is an elitest asshole. And, as they say, "birds of a feather..." As such, I was taught not to judge anyone by their incomes, high or low. Chances are theirs will vary wildly over the course of a lifetime. As will yours and mine. Rather, judge someone by their actions, and how much they help others, (or tear them down.)
At least he flagged himself as such right off the bat. You know now to simply avoid the creep. Perhaps, after going through a few hard times himself, he'll learn to be a little more accepting of others who are barely making it in this "Bushwhacked" economy.
