Yeah no, not at all.

At least in theory:

Poor 1 and poor 2 are factory workers. They work steadily and hard but their pay has been anemic, and poor 1 and poor 2 can't seem to get settled as middle class 1 and middle class 2.

Rich 1, either owning the factory or at least chairing the board that runs it, has kept their pay flat this whole time, taking the lion's share of the factory productivity. Rich 1 will not listen to anyone who believes pay scales should change, and rich 1 will fire poor 1 and poor 2 if either of them organize for change in any way.

Poor 1 and poor 2 decide that the productivity of the factory should profit them, not rich 1.

Now, when they kick out rich 1, they do face an important consequence of losing someone who had the expertise and specialist knowledge that rich 1 may have been applying while running the show - and that's a legitimate concern. But let's not pretend you're describing an accurate picture of how this came about to begin with.

Nice, yet that is the situation. But you are right
