It's that pesky 47%

Fuck the 47%! Well, except for the soldiers. They need the soldiers. And for the servants. They need servants. And farmers. They need food. And factory workers. And their employees. They need their employees. Oh! And the consumers. They need someone to buy the stuff their employees make in their factories so they can stay rich. Also, except for the builders of yachts and luxury cars and airplanes and helicopters and rich people's toys. And except for accountants. They really need accountants! And bank workers. And they need infrastructure maintainers or they won't be able to get around. And how can they get their goods to markets without ships. yeah, they need dockworkers and ship captains and crews. And ship-builders. And semi-truck drivers. And except for weapons makers. How can they defend their gated communities against the hoards without weapons? And bodyguards and small private armies. They really need those.

But other than that fuck the rest of that useless and freeloading pesky 47%.
