Why do people look down on people who dont have money?

I would not say that happy people look down on those who do not have money. It's the unhappy people who hate their jobs and their co workers and their bosses and their customers and their husbands or wives who hate poor people. They suffer so much to become wealthy and they want to punish those who had an easy ride because they were less concerned with becoming rich.

Because some people are assholes and think they are superior to others just because they have money.

The majority of people value money over ALL else in life. Drugs, stealing, cheating, abandoning kids, lying, ruining people's lives, promiscuity, harming kids, etc. Are all seen as not as bad as not having much money. The majority of people in society are trash and have very bad morals/priorities.

because looks, money, status, competency is what matters to society

Obviously money isn't a major priority for you, so why would their opinion matter? They focus on money and you focus on something else.

They want to feel superior because maybe thats all they have to feel good about.

Because they can! I went from living in a car to owning one. I've been through the shame of being broke and still hustling towards my part time retirement at 50.

Simplified:
You work, you get money; The more useful you are, the more you earn.
No money = No effort No use

What about those people with cancer?

[TallAnon]

They are not useful. Crudely said, they should be lucky we take care of them.

We can both have empathy and be honest about their usefulness in society.

And I say that while my father is currently suffering from cancer and unable to work.

Same reason they look down on them for any other reason. They can!

I don't think that is as true for women as it is for men.

To rub it on your face, usually. They’re desperate for validation be it the smallest ones.

They want to make themselves feel better
