Ehh in a way they are. Look at what’s going on in the Bahamas. A group of billionaires could easily rescue and rebuild the islands if they chose to do so.
Didn’t billionaires in France raise $700 million in a weekend after Notre Dame burned down? Meanwhile millions of people are starving.
Yea maybe it’s not corruption per se, but it sure as hell isn’t moral either.
Some rich people being assholes does not mean all rich people are assholes.
What’s wrong with saying that rich people are inherently corrupt?
It’s really galactically dumb?
Not as dumb as saying if we pay them a bunch more money they won’t go out and gobble up those lobbyist jobs and they will lower their speaking fees.
Let’s be pretty clear here. I support a message of class warfare. I want to encourage the people who hate minorities to instead blame the 1% for all of their problems and transfer their aggression towards the rich and bankers and corporations and insurance companies.

Betcha rich people get a loooooooooot more charitable once heads start rolling.
Powerful people are inherently corrupt and rich people are often powerful.
Also really dumb.
Obama is corrupt? Bernie is corrupt? Oprah is corrupt?
Or, crazy thought, we don’t target a group of people based on a generalization about said group but rather judge individuals based on their actual actions?
They are corrupt to the extent that they wield their power yes. Obama is a mass murder so that’s an easy one. Oprah sold Dr. Oz supplements that killed people maybe that was negligence rather than greed but still. I very much doubt even bernie is clean as the driven snow. Power corrupting is just a thing that happens. The more you wield it the worse you become.
This is a bizarrely cynical view of the world that, frankly, is not supported by the facts.
This doesn’t even warrant a response. It’s disgusting.
I don’t mean rich people. I mean wealthy people. Especially those wealthy due to nepotism.
Being rich is an action.
It’s war. War is disgusting. But sometimes necessary.
Or inaction in the case of inheritance.
I mean, the US Government is an anti-Muslim organization, so.
