I am continually baffled by the defending of the rich that goes on in our society -- people seem extremely concerned about protecting those few individuals that are making over $300,000/year and I cannot for the life of me figure out why.
I suspect that part of growing up under the american dream is the idea that any day now you too will be rich and thus people worry that tomorrow, when they make the're first million it will all somehow be taken away from them by the government.
the rich are not an exploited class in this country, they have the ears of most government officials and they do not need you or i to protect them or their money. (note that i am not advocating exploitation of the rich (soemthing our society is far far far away from ever doing), just wondering why a large portion of the middle class seems so willing to devote their time and resources to defending people who make exponentially more money then they do.)
