How long would the rich remain rich without the poor?

[OohPooPahDoo]

Imagine a rich guy.

He owns a mansion on a huge plot.

Everyday he wakes up, goes to work, works 15 hours, comes home, eats, goes to sleep. He works very hard. Makes a ton of money.


One day all the poor and lower middle class disappear.

All of a sudden our rich man has to
...clean his own house
...cut his own grass
...cook his own food
...change his own oil
...replace his own alternator
...repair his own broken window
...shovel his own snow
...iron his own clothes
...wash his own laundry


In short - do a lot of the things that ordinary people have to do on their own - except he has to do it much more because he's got a much bigger house - leaving less
time for him to do the job that makes him wealthy. In fact - with a home 5-10 X bigger than most Americans, its doubtful he'll have any time left over for work at all.

So what happens? Does his sacrifice time at work? Does his downsize his mansion to a more manageable living area? Or does he just let everything go to shit?

Any ideas?

Depending on what is job was, with all the poor and lower middle classes gone.
He may have a lot of spare time. So the 15 hours of work may not be necessary anymore.

Compared to the rich man?

Who do you think would last longer - a plantation owner whose slaves disappeared - or slaves whose plantation owner disappeared? Why is it you think a rich guy has to own the land before it gets tilled? Is there something about the owner being wealthy that makes the land more fertile?

Oh, right, if the poor and middle class disappeared, I guess the wealthy would just sit around and do nothing while magical fairies plowed the fields.

Again, what fields are you talking about? And where are these slaves.
And how about this economy?

Class envy

The rich make money from people with motivation, not those without it. It's the poor who would starve without the "rich." As a business owner who deals with all levels every day, your knowledge of the real world is just funny. Without me, everyone goes home. My senior, educated, motivated staff would all leave holes but we would survive losing any of them. The low skilled hourly we might personally miss, but they would have no impact on our ability to go on, we'd replace them. That ... is reality. It's not a coincidence, people have and make more money because they are more motivated.

We know more about Romney than we do about Obama, why are you guys notin an uproar over Obamas college transcripts, or why where you not in an uproar over his birth certificate "Which by the way has been proven to be a fraud. All this uproar over Romneys tax returns, but none over Harry Reids. You have Faux rage, and everyone knows is but you dumbasses.
