Do these people ever remove themselves from themselves and realize they are just wild animals, eating, shitting, fucking, and dying like the rest of us?
What are they in it for? What are they chasing? It seems like from birth these people never questioned anything. Their successful parents instilled some sort of “drive” in them to do better than others and to accumulate shiny things. I don’t believe these people are smarter than those beneath them, therefore nurture must be the deciding factor here. Most highly intelligent people live middle class, to upper-middle class lives. I would much rather see a prominent scientist, mathematician or philosopher in his position, but no, it’s always some egotistical finance guru type.

Although I am generally a peaceful individual, for some reason I want to see people like this suffer, just temporarily, as a learning experience, so they can understand what most people have to go through. An angry mob should be able to take stuff away from these people by force. I’m not even a communist, it just doesn’t seem logical that these people maintain their lifestyles from birth, then die with an empire. Even when they go bankrupt, they still maintain their position near the top of the hierarchy.
