Sorry Dave, but with all due respect, your posting sounds like a proletariat rant against those who may have something, or aspire to something, you don't have, and that you rather resent them for holding on to values which you seem to be quite willing to cast away. Your tone, and word choice really does seem to reflect huge disrespect, cloaked in what is, in my opinion, nothing more than specious egalitarianism.

Like Todd said, "reverse snobbery is still snobbery, no matter how egalitarian it tries to portray itself".
