>> I think he was just talking about rich people kind of being demonized by the media, they like to paint a story of rich as the oppressive ruling class which everyone else needs to rise up against. That only divides people, there are peaceful solutions too..

I think what divides people in the first instance is that 20% of them hold 80% of the wealth (or similar).

"Peaceful solutions" is an interesting turn of phrase also. I guess you could see the exchange of wealth as a kind of war, but in that case the person who took all the money for themselves and left very little for everyone else to go by is actively trying to win that war. In that sense the only "peaceful solution" is to play dead.
