On the contrary, when powerless helpless and broke people intend nefarious things, that is not especially worrying. They are powerless, helpless and broke, and they can't do much to hurt you.

Pretty much by definition the rich are exceptionally powerful and capable. To assume they never intend anything nefarious is a really weird assumption, and they are categorically capable of doing more about ANYTHING they might intend, for good or ill.

If they intend ill, by definition that makes them a formidable enemy that must be taken seriously.
