Pretty sick of the constant class warfare nonsense.
People are not poor because Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Donald Trump and Oprah have lots of money. They are poor for other reasons which could fill pages to list and discuss. The rich are not oppressing the poor or causing class disparity. Government definitely is by sticking it's grotesque paws where it should not.
Apparently Obama is going to propose a hike in capital gains tax to 28%. If that happens it would have gone up from 20% to 28% under his watch. That is a 40% increase overall! There are consequences to such changes. They are destructive to the country, businesses, the middle class and the poor. We need to go in the opposite direction.
Blaming the rich is just a nice populist way to focus people away from where the real problems might lie.
