I certainly have no problem with millionaires and those who are rich through the dint of their own intelligence and hard work.

But today in America, much wealth comes at the hands of, permission from, or rule making by the US Government. Is there a reason why 7 of the 10 wealthiest counties in the country are now surrounding Washington DC? Our financial system in particular is very corrupt - bailouts from the Federal Reserve and TARP, as well as massive money printing and debt handling have made those select few cronies on Wall Street especially rich. This is NOT capitalism. It is statism and a type of fascism.
