Listen no one is "vilifying" rich people. They ARE villains. If you run a billion dollar company, give yourself millions in dollars and benefits, but pay your individual workers less than a living wage and give them shitty insurance, what are you if not a villain?

Meanwhile, we don't actually have the circumstances in place where the general public can put policy designers in power to serve the public interest insofar as it conflicts with private corporations who want to keep vulnerabilities in place because they are currently exploiting them. So we have a political problem to solve which has a much higher precedence than the technical policy problem.

I agree with you on that. I just have no tolerance for the "Rich people are evil!" talk.
