And then, at the end of the show, the rich person can assuage their guilt by spreading some of their pocket change around and then getting back into their limo.

On second thought, I think the idea has already been developed.

I think your passion is admirable ... but keep it focused on wealth inequality and the fact that the rich don't pay a fair share. I don't give a shit if they snort coke out of the asses of pigs (see rumors re: dupont family) while .... well, you get the idea ... as long as the pay an share fairly pegged to the amount of wealth they TAKE out of the country.
