Scamming rich people is not exclusive of scamming poor people unfortunately. Poor always, always pay the bill.

To quote another Bernie, there's a fair bit of socialism for the rich in the US through bailouts when big corporations lose too much money/are too big to fail.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted, as that's as true of a statement as almost anything. This weird, hypermasculine obsession with capitalism amongst this forum (and tech community at large) just perpetuates injustices.

Haha :) I've been on HN for 12+ years, and yes, statements on capitalism don't always go over very well (unsurprising given links to YCombinator). Although I will say that HN has a wider diversity of opinion on quite a range of topics than other tech forums.
