I mean, if you encounter a homeless person or a Target cashier with the same views, from what you've said those views should be no less obnoxious, but they don't irk you in those circumstances.
Unless your point is that in those circumstances, liberalism is nothing more than redistributionist self-interest, and then you applaud those folks for looking out for themselves.

I've told both to fuck off, civilly. I run into union sorts almost daily, and when they start on the whole "the rich are taking advantage of the working man" bit (and they do, frequently) I'll say the same thing.
Liberalism for the hyper-rich is a way buying yourself into Heaven. Nobody gets that rich without shitting on a lot of people. They figure stopping the melting of a glacier in Antartica or getting a photo-op playing pickup basketball with black kids in a poor neighborhood makes up for it.
