The point is that for the most part the rich did not get rich by nefarious schemes but by providing something that other people are willing to pay them for.
This is not relevant.
This is about the way things are set up, and in effect how poor people feel about being poor.
What they did and how they got there is not the problem.
Hey, I am Joe Blow, and I did so and so, and got really rich. Now I live a rich and lavish life. I night even give some of my riches to charities. Yay for me.
The point is it appears that alot of poor people are unaware that they are slaves, and need to buy their freedom. They convince eachother to go out and get a job to be a productive member of society. They are nothing but servants of the rich. Their money does not work for them. They work for their money.
If you are poor doing dirt crap work for barely any pay, it is not even questionable that you are a bloody slave.
Now if you have an idiotic office jon, wear an idiotic suit, and act like an idiotic pleb, you are still a member of the working class. I have alot of respect for the actual hard laborer. These office jobbers are a different story. They are usually highschool or college edumacated retards that feel so great about going to some office to make sales or do some other idiotic duty. They are a flock of plebian dullards that think they are go getters because they made the top of their sales force. Woopy doo hoorah for you.

Presuming you occasionally see a movie in a theater or buy a DVD rather than pirating them you are willingly handing over your money... actively participating in a process that makes the rich richer and you poorer.
This has nothing to do with the issue, but I do my very absolute best not to purcase DVDs, CDs, or Software. I might have purchased less than a handful of DVDs in my lifetime. Mostly for xmas presents. I think I have purchased 1 video game in the last few years because of my absolte frustration spending hours and hours trying to get my downloaded file to work. I was so frustrated and PO, and it was taking up so much of my time that I just drove as far away as I could from the ghetto to find a video game store to buy a copy.
The most I do is rent a DVD every now and then, but of course, I always rip it directly into my hard drive. I might have purchased less than a handful of CDs since filesharing was invented.
When it comes to actual purchasing of DVDs, CDs, Software, and such. I hate those notes you get in the download that says, if you like this, go buy it in order to support the creators.
1. There is no point in purchasing something that I already got free.
2. It is completely ignorant to support these full profit rich retards. They are my enemy. My objective is to take their money, and use it to support the poor. Those notes are so bloody ignorant. All of my shared files have a note attatched saying whatever you do, do not purchase the product, and support these companies. Intead, support the filesharing community by sharing these assholes's media.

That actors, ball-players, and CEOs earn so much more than a teacher or a gardener says something about our societal values rather than something about the individuals.
It simply says alot about how totally disfunctional our society is. It is so damn parapalegic. I am pursuing an entertainment career, so I can make a ton money singing and dancing and acting. All knowing full well, that people should actually be paying to do this "work(fun)", much less getting paid to do it, much less getting paid a ton of money to do it. If these assholes of society want to pay artists to sing and dance and such, they might as well pay me the same way.
