I personally don't care much that these people are wealthy or even able to evade paying as much taxes as we do. The problem I have, and the problem I think the author is trying to expose is that DUE to their wealth, these top 0.1% are able to exert a vastly disproportionate amount of influence on our political and legal system, often times to the detriment of the other 99.9% of us, and preventing politicians from making the level headed, balanced decisions they need to make. Even if the people as a organized collective can get together to rally against a certain issue, and even if that group can win, anybody with lobbying power (e.g. money) can simply lobby again at a later time to throw in some rider on a completely unrelated bill to pass some law getting what they want.
