Bottom line is, I don't feel sorry for rich people. They have more freedom & opportunity to GET rich in this country than practically any other.

I don't think anyone here feels sorry for rich people, but it sure does seem as if there's a lot of people (here and elsewhere) who have a vendetta against them...
For me, it comes down to this... it's unfair to FORCE people to pay more, just because they have more. Asking is one thing... Stealing is another.
