Affluent, Modern Day Scrooges, And Their Satisfaction In Underpaying

       The fictional character Scrooge was Charles Dickens' effort to make greedy, selfish, affluent people take better care of their employees. He appealed to people's sense of God and something greater than our earthly existence. Dickens hoped that Scrooge like people would see there is no benefit in being Scrooges because of punishment in the afterlife, and that these Scrooge like people would therefore change.
       Unfortunately, Scrooges, male and female, are alive and well. There will be no visiting spirits getting them to change their unempathetic hearts.
       What is it in certain rich, affluent and well off people that they either derive satisfaction, or are indifferent, to the needs and concerns of their employees? Many are the caregivers, for example, working for well off people that do everything they can to underpay and take advantage of the caregiver. Some of these well off employers operate out of a sense of entitlement. They believe that since they are rich and privileged, only their lives matter.
        Liberal, conservative, Democratic, Republican; these selfish Scrooge like people of the modern age come from all walks of life. Who they are is not determined by race, religion, gender or ethnicity. What they share is a coldness, a lack of empathy, a cold heart, no matter how warm and politically or religiously correct they may seem. They should be shamed, not praised, for how they get over on less fortunate people.
