Envy and jealousy will get you nowhere in life. Strive to do better. Maybe join the upper classes through hard work and sacrifice?

We already work and strife more than those upper classes ever would in their entire life.

How about those upper classes pay their due taxes instead of using loopholes to be a leach on society?

Either that or we eat them.
