Its sort of amazing that anyone can still openly advocate that raising taxes on the rich "only ends up hurting middle class" or for "no minimum wage" slavery, without getting the shit kicked out of them. The really crazy thing is they think they are good people, not at all rotten and viscous as they truly are. The cliff between rich and poor is ever more increasing, and you think giving the rich more is going to stop this, you deserve whatever is coming to you when the poor have reached their limit and come knocking on your door. Maybe at least you will realize, that the poor that is going to kick your head in, is not reading Hacker News.

Luckily we still live in a civil society where most people understand violence isn't an acceptable response to political disagreement.

I understand you are upset but I ask you to please consider this briefly. If you change conditions to make a specific place more appealing to the rich this does not in any way hurt the poor in that area. If having rich people around was bad for the lower income citizens then people with low income in Monaco would be worse off than people with low income in Africa.
