“I hate my country. There are so many rich people who don't share their shit. They're like spoiled little ten-year-old bullies on the playground. They hog the monkey bars and the slide and the seesaw. And if you complain even a little bit, if you try to get just one spin on the merry-go-round, the bullies beat the shit out of you.”
― Sherman Alexie, Flight

“Care for us! True, indeed! They ne'er cared for us yet: suffer us to famish, and their storehouses crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act established against the rich, and provide more piercing statutes daily to chain up and restrain the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and there's all the love they bear us.”
― William Shakespeare, Coriolanus

“The purpose of a democratic government is to protect the poor from the rich. The purpose of religion is to protect the rich from the poor.”

“It is the industry which is carried on for the benefit of the rich and powerful, that is principally encouraged by our mercantile system. That which is carried on for the benefit of the poor and the indigent, is too often, either neglected, or oppressed”
― Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nation

“By charging wildly different prices for products that have largely the same cost, Starbucks is able to smoke out customers who are less sensitive about the price. Starbucks doesn’t have a way to identify lavish customers perfectly, so it invites them to hang themselves with a choice of luxurious ropes.”
― Tim Harford, The Undercover Economist

“When it comes to justice - the indigent get the noose while the affluent get pardoned.”
― Stewart Stafford

“In that day an educated rich man was acceptable. He might send his sons to college without comment, might wear a vest and white shirt and tie in the daytime of a weekday, might wear gloves and keep his nails clean. And since the lives and practices of rich men were mysterious, who knows what they could use or not use? But a poor man––what need had he for poetry or for painting or for music not fit for singing or dancing?”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“The whole purpose of government is to protect the weak from the rich, to make sure the rich don’t eat the poor, the way they used to in the Stone Age, or medieval Europe, when there was no government and no laws stopping the strong from robbing the weak.”

“The pursuit of money is empty and soul-destroying, and so is your bank account if you don't do it.”
― Stewart Stafford

“As social commentators marvelled, charity was 'frequently derived from the lowest orders”
― Hallie Rubenhold, The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper

“The rich rarely give a black dog for a white monkey, my friend. It's the way of the world.”
― Karen Essex, Stealing Athena

“Those who eat porridge and those who drink gruel live and die.
Even though the faces change,
porridge eaters and gruel drinkers continue to manifest.”
― Santosh Lamichhane, Porridge Eaters and Gruel Drinkers: A Nepali Poetry Collection

“Market economy favors the have against the have not”
― Bangambiki Habyarimana, The Great Pearl of Wisdom

“The rich leapt over suspicious puddles in their beautiful clothes. Up and down they strolled, no discernible destination in mind, and that, he [Andrew Haswell Green] decided, must be a thing that money can buy: the freedom from needing direction.”
― Jonathan Lee, The Great Mistake

“Rich, modern countries have common traits that make them different from poor, traditional countries, which also share common traits. Differences in wealth can lead to conflict between societies, but the evidence suggests that this mainly occurs when rich and powerful societies try to conquer and colonize poor and traditional societies.”
― Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order

“Here, class lines are far more blurred, it seems. There, it's defined by money. Either you have it and don't share it, or you are left to starve and fight for your survival.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

“It was morbidly fascinating to hear rich people discuss what to do with the rest of us.”
― Byrd Nash, Delicious Death

“The rich won't win. They are pampered blokes. We have daily struggles. They don't even know what struggle is in life. We face adversities on a daily basis. They lead a life of luxury. We have to make choices for our survival. They don't know that they have to make any kind of choices. We have to take care of our families. They don't know what they want. We have to fight on a daily basis to earn our pennies. They squander their money on stupid luxuries. We fight for survival. They give a damn to us and the world.
