So....your "elite ruling class" are the only people who are allowed to be equal and the rest of us bow down to their greatness? How totalitarian of you....that's Plutocracy.....No thanks....I've seen what Plutocracy has done over the past three decades.....it sucks....well, not for the Plutocrats themselves....They've never had it better.....but for most of the country....it sucks.
What do I have against Businessmen? Well....it depends. If you are Joe Schmoe the Plumber and have 10 employees who go out and do jobs(produce)? Nothing at all.
But if you are a monopolistic entity with little to no viable competition, and you are constantly throwing money at elected officials' campaign coffers to keep it that way, or you are a vulture Capitalist who has enough power to buy an existing business, gut the employees and move the entire works over to China for $.50/hr labor and no benefits....then complain that the workers that just lost their jobs are nothing but lazy "takers"? A lot.
