what, exactly, are they doing to make the poor's life crap? having money? i didn't know b. gates was making my life horrible by having billions of dollars. it isn't his money that is harming me, it is his monopoly on the computer software industry
funny..."1984" reminds me of a socialist state more then a capitalist state. it's kind of like what the liberals are trying to do to the US (and what the communists want)

Same here. If you want to think about rich people that aren't ruining our lives, just think about Steve Jobs. I think he is a millionaire, but really, wut is the difference between 100's of millions and 60billion, there is no way you could spend either amount. But back to the point, Steve makes our lives better, he makes sure the Mac OS gets made by his legions of programmers. and the Mac OS makes people's lives better. Because you lack the shit of Windows and lack the difficulty associated with most Linux Distros. So there, that is a rich capitalist who makes our lives better.

Steve Jobs "makes our lives better" in the same way a benevolent Lord may treat his peasants better than some asshole who owns the castle down the street. But we'd be much better off without the whole sapitalist system, just as we're better off now without feudalism.
papercut:
But gates cheats his way into making more and more money he will never need/use. Jobs only made 1 cent or $1 last year, he doesn't scam his way into making more money he will never use.

Bingo!
Steve jobs makes better software and he is willing to do it for free, well $1.
Once again we see that if the motive is the task itself we get a better result than when the motive is money.
This is the point the socialist keep making!
On another topic: Rich people make your life crap because they produce nothing. To keep them in luxury you have to produce a surplus - in practice, a little bit for you and a lot more for them.
If you didn't have to produce their cut you'd have more time to pursue the enriching things in life.
