1. Of course they are!
There have been numerous reports on just how the decadent spending habits of the richer rich indicate the more-than-recovery that is being had in that upper-percentile of predominant wealth holders.

Hmmm. I wonder where the privileged few get their wealth from? This being capitalism, it can't have anything to do with anyone having less, can it? I mean, there is no direct correlation between our collective loss and their windfalls-a-poppin' right before our eyes, can there?

We all know that we are just lazy and unmotivated, (well, beyond increasing productivity immensely across-the-board) for stagnant and even falling remuneration. So, no reason to question the fairness of it all or bandy about Marxist swear words or Socialistic jargon. After all, we tend to look up and dream about getting our share of big bucks someday, so we cannot, under any circumstances, resent or rebel against the occupants of the very tip of the pyramid, can we?

Now, as for the poor, those broken, worthless cretins ... they are more than worthy of scorn, contempt and justified loathing as they drag things down with their sloth and addictions and messiness. They could have had it all, but opted for poverty instead, so let's look up to the winners and down on the losers and sit here on the fence, dreaming about that prosperity that is due is in the Great Dream.
