    I mean those who have a crap ton of money have it because they don’t mind exploiting others in terrible ways to get it. So maybe the cream would rise back up to the top psychopaths.

      Naw, I’m down with exploiting others for personal gain but I simply lack the capital to do so in the same way as the ultra rich.

      I’m not going to pretend every low income person is some ethical ideal, because I sure as fuck aren’t.

      And that’s why like laws and shit are needed to prevent that exploitation or whatever.

      Don’t forget, Nepotism and “net working” aka groups of sociopaths working together to shear the sheep…

      If you take their money, they still have their connections, as long as the other wolves don’t turn on them.

      Edit: as another poster said “social capital” is a thing.
