It's easier to prey on the poor than on the rich. It's because they're
easy prey that keeps them poor.  It's because they are good predators
that makes them rich.
Some of the rich prey on the other rich like the so-called cor****ate
raiders, they are such good predators that they can pick on the rich
and succeed.

So long as we have a system where there is competition, for wealth,
for fame, for social or political position, some competitors will be
more successful than other competitors.  The only way I can imagine to
end this is to enforce iron equality.  Equality of income,
possessions, everything.  I cannot see how this could be done.
