Oh but Bernie, be fair. They support museums and things!
The 50 wealthiest people in America today own more wealth than the bottom half of our people. Let me repeat that, because it is almost too absurd to believe: the 50 wealthiest people in this country own more wealth than some 165 MILLION Americans. That is a moral obscenity.

Many of them started poor. When did success become obscene? Why should getting rich be eliminated as an opportunity for the poor and all to strive for?

Nobody is saying success is obscene! Many rich people work very hard but many poor people work very hard as well. The point is that our current political and economic system makes it so much easier for the rich to continue to be rich and harder for most people to ever get close.

Yes but the opportunity to get rich still exists here and does not exist in most countries. It was never easy but, it is still possible. We must improve, we must offer more opportunity to all, without killing the possibility to get rich for everyone.
THAT is what we need to focus on though. We need to make it harder to become richer, and easier to become successful, as well as just survive. We spend so much time vilifying the rich, and don't lift up the poor enough.
