"Rich" is a fairly common nickname and surname, and capitalizing "the Rich" creates a clash - is it a reference to the class of wealthy people, or is it an odd form of reference to a person with a nickname or surname of "Rich"? That's my guess as to why "the rich" (the wealthy class) generally isn't capitalized.
