It's very confusing to me why these types of white men get this way--so successful, but not willing to acknowledge the help and privilege they had along the way. Is it really just that they can't stand to think that many people think that they do not automatically 'deserve' all their wealth and that they should be taxed A LOT more and income inequality does need to be addressed? Or is it just they are man babies with thin skins?

Man babies. If they've seen the Fred Rogers acceptance speech from 1997, I guess they imagine themselves.
