Jug is going a bit too far, but are you seriously asking for proof of wrong doing among the wealthiest Americans?
Once again...all "wealthy Americans" are not the same...All this Rich vs Poor...the Rich exploit the poor, etc...leads to the "benelovent" politician riding in to save the day...who then steals from us all.
Not to sound to "jugflier"...but the Federal Reserve, politically connected, super rich and politicians are the ones who make us ALL poor...from the Forbes, Sam Walton types (all though they can better insulate themselves...to the...take your pick...rich local family (Darbys?)...to those schmucks jugflier refes to making 25K or less...We are harmed not by productivity...but by the politically connected.
I'm confused here. You did indeed just make my argument, albeit with a few changes. I never referred to those who made 25k and under. I said that there were people who probably made 25k arguing to continue a political/economic system that insured their economic slavery.
I agree wholeheartedly with the statements you and Dolomite have made. End crony capitalism, and to some degree, decentralise power of the government. But do you really believe that's going to happen soon? Do you think a senator who spends 30 million to get elected is going to then promptly eliminate the power of that office? Not hardley.
