#1 Limousine liberal (or latte liberal) is a derogatory term used to describe a rich liberal who considers themselves a champion of the poor and downtrodden, but lives a lifestyle of wealth and luxury. Limousine liberal is mostly an American term. In Austrialia, an equivalent term is "chardonnay socialist", while in France the equivalent term is gauche caviar (caviar left).

"Capitalism is an organized system to guarantee that greed becomes the primary force of our economic system and allows the few at the top to get very wealthy and has the rest of us riding around thinking we can be that way, too - if we just work hard enough, sell enough Tupperware and Amway products, we can get a pink Cadillac."
Michael Moore

#4 One percenters who assuage their conscious with the money of others.

St. Francis' example not applicable for these people. One set of rules for me, a second set of rules for thee. As another poster often quips - I'll believe them when they start acting accordingly.

Do take note of a wealthy actor who recently passed and is now reported to have cut his children out of the estate because (to paraphrase) he didn't want them to become trust fund babies.

#5 Michael Moore has earned upwards of $50 million trashing capitalism

He also has a nasty record of abusing his hired help.

#6 On a per-pound basis, nine is really not that many. Besides, I bet he's filled them all with poor immigrant children.
