I don’t envy the rich because I don’t want to be an immoral piece of shit
Jodie Foster is a real one
Attacking the rich is not envy. It is self defense. The hoarding of wealth is the cause of poverty. The rich aren’t just indifferent to poverty, they create and maintain it.

Never before has ‘I know a guy who knows a guy who has a friend that heard that this guy said this’ been so well documented.
Best I have for the quote is from Snopes.com which states that this did not come from Jodie Foster. That was the last J. Foster I was expecting this to be attributed to.
Hahaha well stated though
Of course. It is an effective way to always have a huge basin of people desperate for work which you can then brutally underpay and exploit. And here’s the fun part: If you underpay them enough they won’t even be able to pursue better working conditions!
The US never moved on from their slave based economy mentality. They just replaced black people with poor people (who also happen to be overrepresentatingly black).
And at a certain point they probably don’t even know why.
Oh they know why, they just don’t care.
artificial scarcity
The only real scarcity I want to see is scarse lineups at the Rich people guillotine, because we’re done. Lots of work to be done before that is accomplished.
Of course there is no need to use the guillotine because they voluntarily contribute their unimaginable wealth to helping the rest of us.
but, but StOcKS anD bOnDs!
