If you can tell me what is fair about that, I would love to hear it. (Is it my fault I don't own my home? Should I have to pay a government penalty because I don't own it? Perhaps using the Obamacare precedent we'll start taxing people directly for not buying a home?)

The middle class does have a (moral) obligation to NOT redistribute wealth upward from the working class.

My complaint is that so many people are complaining about Obama's redistribution while saying absolutely nothing about the upward redistribution closer to home.
If you are not getting paid enough, complaining, for start learn personal finance and make changes, increase your marketability to be able to earn more money. Then get a job and work.

You think complaining is going to help you, it's not, so keep doing more of the same. Highly educated people, like doctors for example deserve better pay than say someone like you. All you want to do is get your greedy hands in their pockets instead of doing anything to change your circumstances.

Sure, $200K / $250K is Exxon etc... Go after the low man on the totem pole and call them them millionaires and billionaires.

I love the people who think the government gravy train will never stop. They will be the first to go once the animals break out of the zoo.

Guns and Ammo is your only hope once the government loses it credit card. And it will happen, when? Not sure, but it will happen.
