What I object to is the constant tax cuts to them that Bush feels is necessary to keep the country going. Obviously, he's putting us deeper and deeper into debt. The 1% keeps getting the taxes cut. Who do we think is going to paying for all this?
The 1% are paying 90% of the taxes.

Of course, class envy makes people blind to the truth.

Additionally, class envy makes people blind to the fact that many of these supposedly "rich people" are actually small business owners, who's "gross total worth" makes it seem that they are people they are NOT.

Do some homework.
