I'll bet most people think that the 'good rich people' are the ones who share their political ideology and support causes that they agree with.

A 'bad rich person' is often someone who supports the opposition party or once tweeted something disagreeable. It doesn't matter if they employ thousands of people and generously give to charity.

When, of course, the reality is no one ever got rich by simply doing good things, treating others fairly, and conducting themselves in a way that overall benefits others.

And any individual "employing thousands of people" is really "exploiting thousands of people" unless the thousands of employees' wealth is increasing at a faster rate than the employer's.

Wow! So if the business owner who took all the risks somehow profits more than the 9-5 employee if the business takes off; then the owner is somehow 'exploiting' all their workers??? Karl Marx would be proud.

To me, the bad ones are the drug dealers, the politicians who siphon billions.

We still have plenty of robber barons who are doing borderline human trafficking but I don't think these are even that bad. They're exploiting some helpless guy in Bangladesh, but in the end, that guy is better off.

The truly bad ones imo are the "silver or lead" ones - you do things their way and you become rich, you go against them and you're literally dead.
