People that I know who are rich don't go around flashing their money, as indicated in the press picture, which starts the discussion with an obvious bias against "the rich." Perhaps, it would be more appropriate to show "the rich" being industrious and working late when others are loafing at home watching their televisions. I know how this discussion is already planned out.
