You have no constitutional right to be rich, but you have the opportunity.
That is the lie. This unequal wealth distribution on par with 3rd world nations shows that the opportunity for advancement for 99% of the population is not happening. Two conclusions can be reached from this. Either 99% of the American people are stupid/lazy which is the Republican position stated often - but I consider it a position akin to anti-Americanism.
The other more likely conclusion is that the system is rigged.

And if you had your way, according to many of your own posts, you'd rape me of my savings. You'd like to rape every other productive American citizen of their savings to pay for the unproductive.
What makes you think that you're entitled to my money?
What makes you different from those Enron thieves?

It's all about perceived need.
If his perception is that he needs something you have more than YOU need it, then he'll steal it.
If his perception is that he needs something you have more than YOU need it, and he can't steal it, he'll assemble a "Political Action Committee" to lobby the government to steal it from you, and give it to him...
If his perception is that you have more than HE thinks you need, he'll assemble a "Political Action Committee" to lobby the government to steal it from you, and give it to anyone HE judges to be more "in need" than you... And then, after he's taken a cut for himself, he'll give the "needy" whatever scraps are necessary, to soothe his moral pangs...
If his perception is that you have more than HE thinks you need, he'll assemble a "Political Action Committee" to lobby the government to steal it from you, and then give himself a fat pay raise, becuase dammit, he worked HARD on stopping you from having so much......
If his perception is that you're already a rich elitist snob who's Hell-bent on destroying the USA, he'll bow down and kiss your ring.
