Just another example of something that could be universal if we taxed the rich appropriately.

At this point, doctors being rich is an out of date stereotype from before today's rich guys screwed us, and the doctors, out of the good economy we would've had. This is the fundamental misunderstanding holding the idea back from mainstream audiences, they seem to believe "eat the rich" means literally to destroy anybody who makes as much as a doctor or lawyer makes, forgetting these are simply further examples of often abused workers, same as the person cobbling shoes, welding, cooking, whatever.

"Eat the rich" is pointlessly vague anyways. "Unionize" is just one word and gets a lot more done. Doctors are already nearly in a union.
