I don't hate rich people. I think it's an American thing that we don't begrudge people wealth or success, because up until recently we thought we ALL had that opportunity.
What I don't like is rich people being able to use their money to buy their kids out of jail, the influence of my Congressperson or Senator. If the Koch brothers weren't such dirty rotten election-buying right-wing bastards, I wouldn't begrudge them a nickel of their Daddy's money.
In fact, if you think about it, all women really owe rich "society dames" a lot. Since they rich, didn't have to work their hands to the bone, like my grandmothers, they had a lot of idle time on their hands. Having nothing else to do, they got together and through much effort, jail, being ostracized by their families and divorced by their husbands....on August 18, 1920 women finally got the right to vote with the ratification of the 19th Amendment. I'm not being catty here, I mean it. These ladies went through hell and back for the right for ALL women to vote, not just the rich. We all owe them a lot, but not enough to vote for their husbands.
So, thank you Mrs. Romney for that. I really appreciate the opportunity given to me by women of means and plan on exercising it on November 6, 2012.
