Rich people are, by and large, evil. If they weren't evil before getting rich, they become evil afterwards. That's because (as you know) power corrupts. Of course they don't think they're evil. They think they're "exceptional," "outstanding," or "heroic." An effective social democracy puts a cap on how evil they can be. And that's why they hate (real) social democracies, and government in general.

@kot Let's state that, "wealth is evil.", so the desire to accumulate wealth is an evil desire. Rich people don't become evil; they are exposed as evil when their desire is reached. Societies that fail to put checks on wealth accumulation are evil societies; evil societies make wealth accumulation a necessity (retirement savings, etc.).
