Not being a rich guy, I don't have any motivation to defend the infamous 1%. However, I am tired of reading spouts blaming the fact people have to work two jobs, or car insurance is going up, or Medicare costs have risen on rich guys. Most of us work as hard as we can and earn as much as we can without feeling a need to whine about the fact that some guys make lots more than we do. Look at history, this is nothing new. It is the sort of thing that has inspired revolutions for thousands of years, the haves vs. the have nots. Things stay the same. Work hard and earn what you deserve.
