See nanofever, that attitude is the problem. Why do you feel that you are entitled to have the incomes of the wealthy redistributed to you and other members of society? Did you earn it? No, they did.
You have the same opportunity to work hard and advance yourself in society as the wealthy do. Remember someone in that wealthy family earned a shitload of money through old fashioned American virtues like hard work, discipline, and innovation. Oh that's right, we don't want to do that shit anymore, let's just tax the people who actually earned the money the hard way.
Give me a break, when did we become such a pathetic society? Why do we feel like other people owe us just because they became financially successful? Everyone in society should pull their own weight.
