Put the blame where it belongs.
Ronald Reagan was a middle class kid who wanted to be very, very, very rich. When he got to Hollywood he made it his business to always be the poorest guy in the room. He sucked up to the rich every chance he got.
One of the things he did for them was tell them that they didn't owe the peons anything. In fact, he told them they should flaunt their wealth and grind down the poor where and whenever they could.
