I think you should make a distinction between someone with an estate that will be passed down to many, many grandchildren vs a corporate profiteer actively lobbying and manipulating the government to maintain his/her financial primacy

Or don’t, but fuck the rich is different than fuck the bankers. Also, being poor doesn’t absolve you from committing crime. Even if circumstances are more difficult, it is a choice to shoplift vs becoming a paramedic or electrician or welder, etc
it doesn't, but i'd rather someone be alive and a thief than dead, full stop. to me, rich is almost interchangeable with billionaire, or approaching that inhumane level of wealth, but saying billionaires leaves too much room for those making hundreds of millions. maybe ultrawealthy instead of rich?
