    I prefer the term “Parasite Class”.

    Many think the poor to be parasites, but they are actually the opposite.

    After all, what is the mark of a parasite? It makes the host think that it is benign, of no harm whatsoever, and in some cases it even convinces its host that it provides a benefit. All the while it visits the most harmful deprivations upon the host, right up to sucking the lifeblood from it until it dies a horrible death.

    No other tranche of human society matches those attributes more effectively than the wealthy.
