For me they are parasites, as they live off of the work of everyone else without contributing.

Those who subsist off the philanthropy of the workers who build their houses, produce and prepare their food, and subscribe to their pointless rents.

And these good Samaritan workers do this for a fraction of the value produced, all so that these poor wealthy elites don't have to engage in real, productive labour.

Have a heart. It's a certainty that they would starve without our charity!

They contribute sometimes by creating jobs, so they can get richer and fatter while still exploiting those who are taking those new jobs.

jOb cReAtOrS.

Everyone contributes sometimes, even the brain eating parasite from Tsikander, stop being an apologist.
