For what? Many things are legitimately a problem because of the uber rich

They make the rules. The rules suck. Then they break their own rules and things suck even more.

Need me to draw you a diagram?

I just bet the person who made this is probably not a member of "the rich" and is just one of those who seem to be more susceptible to the carefully crafted propaganda put out by the rich/corporate class.

Probably thinks they're one of the rich because they're slightly wealthier than the average person.

Have you not heard the phrase "Mo' money, mo' problems?"

The more money one has, the more problems they create.

On the one hand the wealthy do need to start contributing to the systems they take advantage of. As well as the loop holes that protect them, they need to be closed.

On the other hand the sheer volume of blame the rich for literally everything. It's like a less self aware version of "Thanks Obama!". You aren't in a bad way because of rich people. You're in a bad way because you blew your housing payment on this year's cellphone model while the one you have still works flawlessly.
