I also have to point out, when libertarians say shit about trade, we always need to remind them that buying and selling things is not capitalism by itself.
So, don't be libertarian, even if just for this one scene.
He does attack the rich consistently however and the ideal can be extrapolated, beside this one scene. Even the famous “It is easier for a camel to walk through the head of a needle then it is for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven”.
And look what came out of that.
