It really depends on who 'them' is. You protest against anyone with wealth as if they somehow stole it (one way or another). While this is certainly true of some it's certainly not true of all, yet you rail indiscriminately.
Class warfare, plain and simple.
It has become them against us, which is their class war not ours, that of the plutocrats, in this so called New Economy, which means nothing more than the unrestrained accumulation of wealth for wealth's sake by those who have no trouble in exercising the necessary pressure to bear and squeezing every last dollar out of the markets and society, while never allowing this collected wealth to contribute at all to the public well being and the problems of society from which it has been extrapolated. And what havoc this establishment has wrought in these decades! The losses we suffered in war are mild by comparison. Thanks to the unscrupulous deals done by the plutocrats and the activities of their henchmen, our rulers, who gave them unlimited license. So that even when the financial markets collapsed, when the unpaid military expenses went through the roof, this establishment had the gall to demand and expect the public kitty to pay for the their excesses, without even seeing their capital gains taxes augmented by one cent. It's enough to make one want to throw up!
Among these plutocrats and our rulers we have had so many unscrupulous profiteers, so many obliterators of the state, and hence of our country, that it doesn't bear thinking about: they all have held on to their wealth and congressional seats long enough to promote and carry through the destruction and annihilation of the middle class, of our landscape and of our cities. For decades the utmost tastelessness has been propagated and preached. And in no other country has the work of destruction been carried out with such horrendous efficiency as in America. Or so unscrupulously. The nation has been hoodwinked; the country has been mutilated and virtually obliterated, I've thought.
The appalling and grotesque thing is that they have gazillions of dollars, a mountain of private wealth, which they greedily hold on to, while the public deficit caused mainly by unpaid for wars (in their interests) and lack of adequate tax revenue (also in their interests and ideology) is left to oppress the masses, to stifle its prosperity and growth for decades, but they couldn't care less. The plutocracy will never suffer one bit for it and in fact only has to worry about how much they can leave in the trust funds for their off-spring. The world has gotten so imbalanced and chaotic as a result, the mismanagement of resources and public finances by a democratic (as in democracy) political leadership that's controlled by these plutocrats, to their liking and in their favor, has literally disfigured it, has destroyed it by the new barbarism.
What's more, Scott SoCal, whole countries have been eviscerated and mutilated by this machine, while the mastermind in the media promotion of this colossal conservative and right-wing injustice is one as corrupt and without principle as Rupert Murdoch, who feeds the public his swirl of political inanities and market nonsense, with the result that half the world is convinced of that which unremittingly works against them and their real and not merely perceived interests, if only because they, like yourself, look up to this plutocracy as their heroes; and live under the illusion that anyone can have access to this elite class if they simply work hard enough to make it, which is the so called American Dream. All the while it is they who have been fighting a class war to keep as many people down and under their thumbs as their wealth and political clout permits, directly by their business practices and indirectly through their political ideology..
