Don't feel too bad about it, you hit the nail on the head.

It might be helpful though to define the term "rich".

A rich person usually isn't your manager, or their boss, or even the owner of the business, because the people supervising you may have never had a raise in life either, and the owner might be in debt.

A rich person is someone who dismisses their dependence on others. They will act impeccably in all situations and often appear to have an untarnished reputation. A rich person will deny help to someone in need, and then justify their lack of empathy with something along the lines of tough love. A rich person will demand that others work and portray an image that they themselves work, while secretly delegating all work to others. A rich person will wear a suit, a lapel pin, all manner of regalia, to preserve their image at all cost. A rich person has an untethered ego that will go to any length to maintain control. A rich person will decide for others. A rich person will never question their own beliefs. A rich person achieves affluence by denying it to others.

Unfortunately the rich are in charge of all facets of our lives in the US and pretty much everywhere else. Their undying devotion to wealth inequality and the status quo is specifically the primary cause of suffering for the rest of us.

Thanks! Yeah you shouldn't feel bad - rich people are a good example, and I would expect them to have a lot more resources to escape depression in general
