I'll admit I misread your post. Just look up France and riots and protests on the news and get back to me.

So it's cool there?

They talk about these "job creators", and how great it is that the wealthy have allll of this capital to invest to create jobs for us. We need money in the hands of those with a higher marginal propensity to consume, not invest. There's as many customers any more because they're getting raped by the overlords.

Sounded great in theory, but in practice it has turned out terrible. Like racism. Racist jokes are funny, racism is not.

It should have been obvious from the start that the wealth wouldn't trickle down. We live in a consumer culture. The wealth travels the other way.

I don't see why we don't just, like, "uber tex" them. Take away half (or more) of their money (because most of them don't even use that much) and either use it for government work or stimulus boosts. There's more of us than there is them. In fact, I think the best way to "rebel" would be to attack the (greedy) rich folk, not the government.
