Hate the Rich/Successful Folks
#9
So I can understand the hatred for the rich on an economic and social level because it's emotionally tied to the haves/have nots. If you take a step back and think about how it is politicized you have to take into account a few fundamental facts:

1. Hating the rich doesnt make poor people any less poor
2. Removing assets from the rich doesnt make poor people less poor
3. Raising taxes on the rich doesnt make rich people less rich or poor people less poor
3a. Raising taxes on rich just gives the government more money to waste
3b. The rich will find tax loopholes or shelters because they have the means and resources to do so
4. Hatred towards the rich/taxation/etc could potentially reduce the amount the rich give to charity, research, educational endowments, etc
5. The definition of rich will decrease until the wrong people are defined as "rich", making more people poor
