Rich People

[opebo]

Just curious.  What is the role of those we all serve?

[opebo]

Blatantly ignoring the stickied thread eh?

Not at all.  Definitions of economic class is are functions of all political ideologies.  I'm sure Torie didn't mean to disallow discussion of Marxism in his sticky.

Stereotyping any class is equivalent to stereotyping a race.

Are you sure?  A class is a functional thing - one acts as a class or as a member of a class... one isn't stereotyping to describe these functions and acts: such as blood sucking.

Saying that all rich people are blood-sucking parasites is like saying that all poor people are idle deadbeats.
Thus option 3.

No, because the capitalist system means that the rich are by definition are blood sucking parasites, while the poor are forced to work incessantly or die by this same system.

Capitalism is a system where you are born into a certain class and it's difficult to move out of that class. Any "blood-sucking" that occurs, as vague as that term may be, is a fault of the system.

Nevertheless it is a system made up of people.  Anyway you merely restated my point which is that it is their role to drink blood.  The system even does the arduous sucking.
