The Poor are led to believe that their suffering in poverty is the fault of the selfish Rich, who do not share their hoarded wealth. But the Rich didn't give birth to the Poor. They’re poor because their mothers bred them in poverty, after choosing to pursue cosmetics and sex in lieu of employment opportunities.
The mothers then raise their slave victims with violent lies of entitlement, placing the Rich in an extremely awkward position (on the wrong side of hostile demographics). The Poor know they can use force to take from the Rich, and the Rich are used to buying reprieve -- which doesn't always pan out as intended, but you know "mean words"? They're not always as mean as they seem to the butt-hurt victims of their mothers' emotional abuse.
“Let them eat cake.”Maybe she was saying, "Let them eat cake...to save our necks." It seems a lot more likely. Why would she care about hurting their feelings?
