The ersatz straitjacket of wealth, power and privilege never seems so restrictive that the wealthy who complain about it ever give it all up for the freedom to go slum with the proletariat. That should tell you all you need to know.
And I don't blame you, the entire political and financial apparatus of capitalist society is designed to protect the status, wealth and privilege of people like yourself at the expense of everyone else grinding their lives away under the millstone. Obviously the best thing to be in a capitalist society is a capitalist, to whom capital and the benefits of capital are intended to flow, rather than one of the shmucks being fed to Moloch.
But as far as feeling sympathy for the plight of the wealthy - I'm not a communist or even a socialist but I'm playing The Internationale on the world's smallest violin right now.
Indeed. If there is something wealth didn't change, it's my selfishness - just as much before as after!
