It seems the rich simply don't understand that their wealth is only made possible because the masses allow it. And that insane wealth is an imbalance in society that needs to be fixed, both because it is socially unjust, but also because it is undermining democracy.

Also the rich are are leeches on society, that leech hundreds of times more than they need. Very different from an unemployed or sick or single mom that only get the help they actually need to scrape by.

The sense of entitlement among the rich is insane, as in literally insane and disconnected from reality.
