Define who is being oppressed and convince me those types are capable of
anything other than whining and going back to live with Dad & Mom.

In the first century AD, the Romans made life increasingly hard for
the poor by taxing them heavily while the rich of Roman society got
richer.
Sepphoris was developed by Herod, or Herod's son, Antipas. The
roman empire taxed the farmers and the workers in such a way as to
extract as much wealth without destroying it completely.
Such were the conditions that sparked a revolution against the Roman
empire. Ultimately, the Roman empire fell. There is truth in the
idea that one cannot enrich the wealthy and oppress the poor
indefinitely.
