My head is bloody, but unbowed.
He wasn't even wealthy. He had a working mom that tried to meet his material demands and a dad in massive debt. The whole situation is terrible, but yay for the wave of incoming politicization.
No they weren't wealthy (at least anymore), but they had a lot of connections to it. When I was reading the manuscript, I sorta stopped and ranted here. Either way, what I was trying to say holds little bearing to the fact if he was wealthy or not. His economic situation wasn't terrible as it seems pretty much similar to most Americans.
Also, the reason why I'm not chalking it up to a mental disability is due to articles (and forums) like this:
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/05/...gers-if-society-doesnt-provide-them-with-sex/
which is basically a summary of another article that states Elliot's murderous rampage would've been avoided if he had "game." Then they conclude that more people will die unless society provides men with more sexual options.

I don't see this kind of thinking as purely a mental disability. It's entitlement. I'm sure if someone here went on a killing spree then one of us send their writings to the news they'd call it a mental disability too. For fucks sake I've written some really questionable shit too that can be chalked up to having a mental disability. It's a lot deeper than that, imo. And honestly i think Baroque really had something when he stated he that Elliot was spoiled. The dude drove a BMW and wore designer clothing while his parents were in debt? Come on now...
