They don't give a **** if you and your family starves so stop rolling over for them.
FWIW, every job I have had since I was 14 (and maybe a bit younger, if you count my family's SMB) depended on rich people or business customers in order to exist. Not saying that we owe rich folks anything, but not every person with money just hoards it all. Most reinvest in ventures they believe will make a profit. In other words, they create jobs. This idea that business is a self-serving money vacuum is only partially correct. It is self-serving. But it is not a money vacuum.
