This slaps so hard. The difference between broke and poor is status and connections. Status and connections is why some people will never be punished for their actions. Tyranny is terrible for anyone who's not in the one percent of the one percent. The struggle is the same as it was and the same as it will be, that's no coincidence : the struggle is passed down. This bad boy can fit so many important political ideas.
