I think one of the real problems we have is that any attempt to level the playing field and lessen the disparity between the classes is spun with such viciousness that it would make Goebbels blush.
“It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas and disguise.”
― Joseph Goebbels
