Because for the most part the rich elites have bought and paid for the government that is supposed to represent us but instead represents the interests of the corporate plutocracy. Wealth = power. As wealth becomes more concentrated so does power. If you're too ignorant to understand why an increasingly small percentage of the population acquiring a larger and larger slice of the "pie" is bad for freedom, democracy, and the middle class........well you fail miserably at understanding the principles this country was founded on and the idea of liberty and justice FOR ALL! America was never meant to be a winner take all society. That is why we fought the British monarchy.
So what is your answer croozer. Kill all the rich? Guess who will take their place. Surely not the "peasants" because many have chosen their paths. In this country you make what you want out of your life. Ranting about how others have succeeded beyond ones self won't change the simple fact that if the playing field was reset to even the achievers would rise again and the underachievers would sit around complaining and whining how it's not fair.
So what? We can all aspire to become wealthy if that is our goal. It shows how great this country is. How FREE we are.
The OP obviously wanted to present this news as evil but his efforts backfired, as every liberal POV eventually does.
LMAO! I just threw up in my mouth. WOW! I'm surprised when I actually meet people like you who spew this nonsense. Do you really believe your own BS? I'm curious.
We all should aspire to BECOME FREE, not necessarily wealthy. What is your definition of wealthy? You do realize that for the most part American wealth is built on third world slave labor more than ever nowadays. You do realize even the most middle class of Americans still live better than 90% of the population OF THE WORLD. You do realize that there is a big vast world out there that doesn't necessarily revolve around America right? See what braindead Americans fail to understand is that our complete economy is unsustainable and it is unsustainable because we have all been brainwashed to believe that if we just work hard, play by the rules and keep our heads down maybe one day we too will be part of the "millionaire club". Yeah right! You think they want you in their club? If everyone was a millionaire or a billioinaire it wouldn't mean jack diddly. The people who are lying to you themselves are not playing by the rules and they are subverting freedom and the opportunity to make a decent living and live a prosperous life. Why does a prosperous life have to entail "being wealthy". That is the entire problem. 1% of the world's population i.e. Americans consuming 25% of the world's resources. All so we can have those cheap Iphones and computers, $10 filet mignons, and McMansions. Meanwhile more and more Americans are living on debt, don't own ANY LAND, cannot produce anything they consumer or need to live, and work like dogs well into old age all in the hopes of becoming part of the "club" of the wealthy. LMAO! You have been lied to and you are starting to believe your own lies. Sad really.
No surprise this country is nothing but a cesspool for the rich to get away with what ever they want to. But the times they are a changing....
What does it matter to you how much someone else has?
