I find it hilarious how people in Plato's time were complaining about the "Elite". What could they have possibly been doing?

Plato's Elite
>concept of rent didn't exist you just lived wherever
>no wage slaving you worked when you felt like it
>fresh food at the market sold by the guy who grew it
>allowed prostitution
>no religious indoctrination
>no education indoctrination
>no societal pressures

Modern Elite
>taxes 35% of your income
>rent takes another 35%
>indoctrinated from birth to be a good wage slave
>food is contaminated with chemicals
>education is indoctrination
>societal pressures to be a good wage slave
>everything is illegal
