If their wealth was strictly a matter of their own hard work, the rich would be entitled to everything they have, but it is NOT. Much of their wealth has resulted from carefully crafted laws designed to benefit them at the expense of everyone else. For many of the rich, their most profitable investment has been hiring lobbyists to gain "favorable" treatment on taxes. The worst and most offensive part is their sense of entitlement. I guess F. Scott Fitzgerald was right, the rich really are different.
