... be someone's bitch for protection.

...and that's why I do exactly that on the regular. This is the real world, you really think holding yourself accountable for your actions is what gets you places? I guess you still believe in Santa Claus too.

Whether the answer is yes or no isn't as significant as much as the explanation of how/why the answer to this is either yes or no.

I want to clarify, my opinion is not tied to any political affiliations or political ideology. In fact, I have never voted in my life and plan to keep it that way.

Also, I say this as someone he came from a broke/poor background, and I am part of the working class.

I'm all for exposing and condemning corruption by anyone with wealth/power, but oftentimes when people are bashing "the rich," there is so much whining, so many empty insults, and little to no credible substance behind all of noise.

Then I got to thinking, as someone who was raised in a "poor/broke" environment, which is also where a conaiderable amount of bashing the rich "because I'm envious that they have what I don't have and I suck at hiding it." Poor people/lower class people have been more of a detriment and burden in my life than any rich billionaire who I will never come into contact with. Sure, you can say a bunch of empty conspiracy bullshit about "the rich," but they have never: stolen from me directly, physically assaulted me (without provocation), harassed me, threatened me, and bothered and annoy me in general. With that in mind, these rich people aren't who I have pent up hatred for due to ACTUAL offenses/violations against me. I have all that hatred and distrust for "the people," not the rich. If you gave these people "the rich's" miney, they'd likely be even more selfish, corrupt, and toxic.
