Naw, I'm down with exploiting others for personal gain but I simply lack the capital to do so in the same way as the ultra rich.

I'm not going to pretend every low income person is some ethical ideal, because I sure as fuck aren't.

And that's why like laws and shit are needed to prevent that exploitation or whatever.

True they'd need to keep at least a few million to rise back to the top

Don't underestimate the power of social capital.
