How do the rich make the decisions for the hardworking, undereducated, less intelligent (you may agree you fall in all those categories, I don't) poor and middle class to their own benefit. Your elected Congress makes the laws, not the rich. Blame THEM if they are not doing their jobs. Why do you think because someone else was more successful in life than you were than they owe you part of that success that you do nothing to earn? I don't understand where that comes from.

You are basically talking class warfare. You think the government should take money away from those who are rich and just give it to you...to "equalize." If that is the way you feel, Obama is your man. Fer sure.
