Not even the rich. Apparently workers earning $90k per year is enough to qualify as enemies to these people.

The rich aren't people who work for a living. The rich are the bourgeousie who live parasitically off the rest of us. The people who can buy citizenship to nearly any country they desire. The people with multimillion dollars doomsday bunker communities.
