Hell, no. The anti-1% rhetoric is a smokescreen; Dems draw a lot of their support from the 1%. Their real enemies are middle-class affluence and lower-class breeding. The ongoing affluence of the 1% IS sustainable, and the planners need the help of the 1% to accomplish their goals. (See how quickly corporate America has rallied to the gay-rights movement?) Efforts to destroy the middle class and control the population of the lower class are well underway, and will accelerate.
