1. I don't have much respect for rich people who live off the success of their families--although I still don't think this gives the right to steal their money. As for the people who become independently wealthy, you better damn well believe they worked for it.
2. Contrary to popular belief, rich people tend to invest far more money in business than they do on a dozen luxury homes, etc. So when the government steps in and damages their ability to invest in businesses by stealing half their money, it hurts everybody. That money could have gone to creating more steady jobs, but instead it causes unemployed people getting paid with confiscated money to sit around and watch TV.
If you have a job, you can thank the people who put up the money and/or work to start the company you work for and to keep it running.
3. See #2.
