Everybody afraid of being mooched off of.
We Americans are trained from birth to hate a mooch, and to be especially hyper vigilant against getting taken advantage of by those "lower" than us.
But we will let those we see as our "betters" take advantage of us all day long. Subservience to power and sycophants to the wealthy.
The American dream is to be a parasite and exploit your fellow man. Everyone yearns to be a landlord or invest a bunch into real estate.
Right?? Like, mooches are bad!
But if you buy into or inherit moochdom, that's somehow socially accepted!
