Who said the rich don’t need the poor to suffer in poverty so the rich get to exist in luxury……
Excuse me what the fuck is that headline

The article is just as bad as the headline would indicate
“Socialism is bad because we can’t make unlimited profit through unethical exploitation.”
“Robber barons were good actually, they’re actually Compassionate for keeping you in abject poverty for their benefit by marginally making the Poor’s life slightly more efficient.”
