By spending stealing other peoples' money whenever they can.
FTFY
Minn, our current climate YES, far too many at the top use the rest of us for their ATM's and then when the bubble bursts, we bail them out. YES YES YES.
But, I would never claim every rich person thinks like that. There was a time after the Great Depression and WW2 especially when the climate was better at the top, taxes where higher on the rich, and the attitude of taxes been seen as an investment was more the norm.
Rich people also exist in places like Denmark, Finland too, but what they don't have with their rich is the pay gap. Their rich don't have the same "fuck you I got mine" attitude our rich have.
Again Minn, our rich would claim anyone bitching are "stealing" from them.
Taxes are not theft by themselves. Monopolies of power is the issue, not simply the rich existing.
You are not going to end the private sector and I hope you don't think that is possible. The only realistic thing one can do is prevent monopolies of power.
