A similar situation occurs if you bring up usurious bank charges, such as overdraft fees. I lucked into an aptitude for a lucrative paycheque/career, but somehow I still manage to feel enormous sympathy for people being utterly robbed by these fees, banks literally structuring transactions to charge enormous penalties to the very people least able to afford it, for something which actually costs them fractions of a cent.

People become absolutely psychopathic about these sorts of discussions, and become heartless, soulless goblins. Even people at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder will desperately line up to show how good of little corporate bootlicking subjugates they are.
