The sarcasm in that quotation isn't even subtle.Your continued insistence on a certain position is making me concerned about your overall view of the world.
General note- when someone quotes Anatole France saying that, "The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread{,}" that isn't actually a good foundation to complain about how rich people aren't allowed to beg.
