Do you think it's about the top 400 richest people fucking over the rest of us by scamming on their taxes and breaking our unions?
And don't give me that bullshit about them working hard. If hard work led to wealth, women in Africa would be wiping their asses with platinum-foil.
Yes, some people work hard, and with a bit of luck (and help) they can change their socioeconomic status. That's great. But it doesn't happen very often.

Whatever happened to the belief that any American could get to the top?

Paris Hilton is rich because she works hard? If she put coke up her nose all day long, she'd still be rich. She was born that way. So was Mitt. And they BOTH should pay higher taxes before we cut one schoolteacher or firefighter.
