We don't expect it. We expect all but the rich to be continually milked and bled more and more, their productivity harvested and their income withered, and with it their lives - healthcare, living quarters, food, family, leisure, whatever can be given up to give the rich more - until it can be reduced no more.
That's what we expect; we only aspire to better things.

If we pack ourselves into tighter living quarters and don’t pocket the savings, or pay higher insurance premiums for no more or better care, where do you suppose the benefit goes? The disadvantaged need to step up their bargaining game. When have you ever heard of a businessperson say, “I can’t ask for this benefit, I haven’t done anything to deserve it?” Their whole ethos is to always ask for more to maximize profits and they’ve been quite successful over the years, clearly. Imagine if the lower income earners rose up to meet the challenge posed by the profiteers.
