The bottom 1% of society are the problem

As title suggests. I always see people criticising the top 1% (not saying they’re exempt from criticism) for societies problems, and often conflating net worth with taxable income, when in reality, the world would be a far better place if the bottom 1% simply vanished overnight.

I’m not talking about people living in poverty, working day and night barely getting by. I’m talking about drug addicts, vagrants, violent criminals, welfare fraud etc. These people are often portrayed as victims of some hellish capitalist society, when in reality, these people are just scumbags who are beyond saving. They use a large portion of public recourses and actively make society a worse place for most of us.

A classroom is a great microcosm that represents this. The best couple of students are generally quiet, well behaved, bring up the overall grade and can assist other students. Most other students are generally fairly average, passing their tests, maybe causing a minor disturbance every now and then but nothing major, just average people going about their lives. Then all you need is one bad student that takes up most of the teachers time and attention, distracting the other students and affecting their studies and lowers the overall grade. Simply remove that one student and the other 20 kids and teacher have a much better experience.
