I find this due mainly in part to the corporate world's insolent trends towards Marxist Capitalism. We're being trained by the media to look down upon people which we deem as "less successful" than others. Despite the countless messages we also receive about "inner beauty" and the intrinsic individualism which is inherent to a system of organic procreation, we reject the moralistic view in favor of popularity and wealth. Hell, look at this example: we rate the well-being of our economy based on how much people are SPENDING. That's how much the wealthy groupthink businesses are MAKING. That's LESS money in the hands of individuals, and thereby less power. So basically we're grading ourselves on how detrimental our core values are. Apparently the worse we actually do in values that each of us sole units can positively measure (that is via positivist observation), the better things are for everyone as a whole. So society (which is a real thing and really exists, something else we've been in denial about) continues to harangue the unemployed and yet allow our unemployment rates to rise via outsourcing and degrading into a self-destructive service-based economy. And all the while, we're continually fed lies and broken promises by our institutions of socialization--schools and universities which promise jobs for good grades and then never deliver. It doesn't help as long as we continue to believe in the fallacy that entrepreneurs are doing us a favor by paying us for labor we're giving them (it's not a favor if it evens out). They distance themselves for us, and now the greatest shame that really shows how the working and nonworking poor are becoming "untouchables" is advertising directed towards business OWNERS. Clearly our corporate-run society has given up on the human condition.

I really don't think I could have said it better myself with a computer writing it for me. It's a sad time that we live in and it's only getting worse by the day. Good people are being punished and the corrupt thrive everyday.
