I think it's not as much that rich people being rich is a problem but the more they amass the faster they amass more and they eventually become a resource sink at the expense of the rest of us. Proper taxation is not looking to eradicate rich people, it would simply make them pay their fair share of taxes (if collected). I am a middle class worker and I pay proportionally a lot more taxes than the uber-rich, is that fair? If I were a billionaire and employed an army of lawyers and accountants to help me avoid paying taxes would that be fair to you? How about tax heavens? Regardless of what's fair or not, when the gap increases beyond certain limits instability ensues. If we don't do anything - and if you have a different solution bring it to the table - we could end up in a much worse situation in which all of us, rich and the poor, would have a lot more to lose
