No no no! My poor CR, the "very successful" will not suddenly hate the poor, they already do. You are just removing power from the poor, which acts as a counterbalance to their self-interest. The elitists have looked down upon the poor and classes underneath them long before Jesus and the Eypgtians. After-all, why do 'we' at the top have to bother with the vermin below? Human nature won't be changing at all. Which is one of the reasons why in itself, socialism can be seen as viable. The greed of the many overrides greed of the individual.
