It is the poor and middle classes that faithfully every week contribute a few dollars here, a few dollars there, each and every time by buying their company's shit. So guess what happens when the poor people have no money to buy the rich people's shit? The rich people cease to be rich. It happened in the 1930s, it can and will happen again.
