I don't know about that, there isn't much of a point to it. I understand the idea of keeping the poors poor so they need to work. I get the idea of greed blinding them to the concept that higher wages = more money to buy their products, but I never understand the argument of evil for the sake of evil.
Those people exist, but not in any number that should have a visible affect on our society. I think it's more about blind greed and power hungry people.
