re: #748 Obdicut

You did use the phrase ‘oligarchs’, which has a pretty negative connotation, which I think explains part of the reaction you’re getting.

I specifically used the word “oligarchs” because that is who I am referring to. I am trying to differentiate as much as possible between middle-class and wealthy. When I say “rich” I don’t mean the guy down the street who makes $300k a year and just bought a Porsche. I mean the people who truly, truly do run this country. The top .1% that controls over 30% of the nation’s wealth. The people that truly are oligarchs.
