I blame the whole "American Dream" thing, this silly notion that anybody can become rich with enough hard work. It's led to a lot of poor people thinking they're not poor, just a temporarily embarrassed millionaire. Or people that work hard but aren't gathering wealth blame other people for their lack of success. The result is that when someone proposes raising taxes on the uber-wealthy, people making $40,000/year go into a panic thinking it'll ever affect them.
