"Rich people make the world go around"

You have it exactly backward. Its those who provide service and labour who make the world go 'round. If the rich people had no employees, they wouldn't be rich at all. They would have to do their own work. How long do you think that would last?

If you start appreciating the contributions of the working class and pay them accordingly, their taxes would be able to provide programs and services for the poor. The upper classes have little or no understanding of poverty but the middle classes do, unless they've brainwashed into worshipping the rich.

I would go so far as to say that it is the worship of the rich by the middle classes that does the most harm to the poor.
