The rich? That's a pretty broad brush stroke. I would say that it depends a lot on how they obtained their riches and what they do with it. I'd agree that the working people have been ripped off but have they (or anyone) paid attention to those in public service positions? Anyone in a position of trust and power must be closely scrutinized. Human nature is easily tempted to do wrong.....rich or not. "Poor" or less affluent people can and do rip off others. There has never been vital scrutiny of our public servants. Without that, they can, will, and do go way off into the weeds--accountability is a far-off concept. We, the people, have not done our jobs of watching closely our public servants.
Liberals such as I have been warning and warning for decades about how the super rich are out of control.
Think of Bush go to war several times, and then asks the American people to privatize social security. Both thefts in my opinion.
How many reps and senators are absolutely controlled by either Big Pharma, the Big Banks, or Ratheon, or these big investment firms like Blackrock.
The working people have been ripped off. Not just in the USA but everywhere around the world.
The rich pay poor black kids in Africa pennies to mine lithium ect.
It is all sick.
