That story has both good and bad parts...
Good. It shows the wealthy that if they don't play fair they get hurt; that lesson is worthwhile for those with money and a dream of a lower tax rate.
Bad. It left out the part where the poor realize that the rich person is not needed, just their resources. The next event in the story would clearly be the poor having a revolution, killing the wealthest people in the group and ridding themselves of wealthy distinctions. This revolution would keep the problem of class differences from happening to the group again. Problem Solved.
