Some of the ones in the second group you listed are the purveyors of class warfare. It makes great theater, gets people stirred up (emotionalism), and makes them controllable.
The sad factor what has taken place the last 25 years, at least in the US, is that small group of wealthy that you slivered off, the ones who could be termed "criminals", have taken over the system which has further fed into the emotionalism. They have even gone so far as to make it more difficult for the entrepreneurs and professionals such as doctors to excel. Regulation, payment caps, and outrageous insurance mandates all made the trek to the top all that more difficult.
And we can see where this all comes from.
We see it on here...look at the attacks on the Whales and the Orcas...a few who deserve it but most who got to where they were by taking a chance...and working their asses off.
Yet many on here want to attack them as being lucky, greedy, and non-caring.
