They are human. There’s nothing wrong with acknowledging that, while also reiterating that they basically shouldn’t be in that state.

Also, I think it’s important to draw a line between the “rich” (well-off working professionals like researchers, doctors, small entrepreneurs), and people with more wealth than many sovereign nations put together.
