Billionaires and the one percent don't have much to do with the careless brutality of the justice systems in Britain and our English-speaking former colonies. It's just an Anglo-Saxon thing, some kind of Puritan hangover. There are different nuances in all those countries - in the U.S. I think it's partly because of their Wild West foundation myths - but in the U.K. it comes down to the typical "Little Englander" being paranoid about the idea that somebody, somewhere is just getting away with something, even if it isn't hurting them. Hence most of the British public being hugely keen on benefit fraudsters being hunted down and punished, despite that costing the country a fairly small amount of money, especially compared to tax fraud by rich businessmen. The one percent benefit from that attitude, but they didn't have to do anything to create it; it's just bloody-minded Anglo Saxon pettiness.

Seems fair enough; the wiki page appears to convey the gist.
Not a fan of the term 'psychopath' it seems too broad to apply to something that specific; 'sociopath' is much better IMO. And concerning the context I employed it, the folks I meant by it are a demonstrable pathology on society.
Which is why we should be turning on them instead of each other; billionaires don't deserve an iota of admiration but rather a movement dedicated to their eradication. Their existence is obscene.
