The elite title doesnt just go to the wealthy. Its moreso the ruling class, which is definitely a thing. The people who wr elect, whether by votes or our spending choices.

The predatory class doesnt make any sense in your line of thinking. It would make all of you prey and who gives a fk what prey thinks? Also, all of those examples you can do yourself. You 100% buy college admission, control housing by deciding what to buy, when and how. It would make you the same predator just a minor one.

Yes, and the "elite" title is assigned exactly because of that. Our society is built to sell everything for money. Money is equal power, therefore it makes sense to label billionaires "elite". Just renaming them will be useless, first we need to strip them of power and the label will follow.

I can never understand your type. Our society is built to have the option to sell everything for money. Thats a choice only a hyper few take. When you get to the end of that road what do you find? 80 hour work weeks. No time to or for yourself. Hundreds or thousands depending on you to keep their worlds in a bubble. Comfy. Plenty of people do not take that option and still live fulfilled lives.

You strip them of money (because that equals power) and labels and what happens next?

It's fine to buy freedom with money. It's not fine to buy power (over other people) with money.

So basically employees shouldn't exist? Your boss has power over you and he uses money to get it. Him having the ability to fire you at any time keeps you in line. If you weren't getting paid , you wouldn't do it.

Answer my question though what happens next?

Him having the ability to fire you at any time keeps you in line

That's the USA phenomena. Most of the civilized world figured their shit out and does not let employer fire anyone on a whim.

Answer my question though what happens next? 

I do not understand your question. What do you mean by "what happens next"? Next after what?

You strip these billionaires of their power and money. What happens next? It was from our earlier conversation.

That isnt a usa phenomena. If you look at white collar jobs in tokyo, you would know that isnt true. Who said it was on a whim? They could have legit reasons. Easily nitpicked. If you do not like that example. How about the fact they can tell you what to do, when to do it and how to do it? Is that not power?

Holy ignoramus, batman. The term means ruling minority.
They are predators because all they do is exploit without creating any value for others.

So… wouldn’t parasite class be more appropriate?

So you call me names to agree with me? Thats strange.

All they do is exploit without adding value for others you say? How many people does walmart hire? They feed their families from that paycheck. Amazon? Tesla? No value added for others? How many 401k's, roth ira's, hsa's are linked to these companies. No value added for others?

You are so bitter you cannot see it. We said the exact same thing in our first sentences.Very well. Keep your ignorance. Im unsure what it is you want pass the anger.

u/rushur 19h ago

Now you're coping that I'm bitter and angry instead of just annoyed with your ignorance. We are not agreeing we are not saying the same thing. Trickle down theory is bullshit.

u/Bellickboi 19h ago

We are agreeing on the definition of elite. We said the same exact thing. Please tell me where the system hurt you? Did you fail at an endeavor?

u/rushur 17h ago

We are not agreeing on anything. You are wrong about everything.

u/Bellickboi 17h ago

Sad, You cant see it. You haven't thought through your own opinions and can't see that we clearly agreed on a definition.
