If you're poor that means you're by definition morally bankrupt or otherwise fundamentally broken inside. Only poor people are bad after all.

Why do Americans defend (((rich people)))? Would paying a little higher taxes kill them?

They have a hard time seeing themselves as being poor, due to narcisism and self delusion.

muh temporarily embarrassed millionaires

Most people dont, I think. Rich people have all the power and influence, and can fund the media to tell Joe that he'll make it if he just works a bit harder. Politicians grovel for campaign contributions and bennies for their states and don't give a shit. Would be interesting to take the top 1% into a separate section to see how much wealth they control

>Why do Americans hate poor people?
The culture of "everyone can get a comfy life and become a millionaire if only he works hard" which leads to "If you're a poor fuck, then that means you're lazy"

no, working class socialist voter

Define the word 'poor', because most "poor" people in America still live a decent life

>But a new paper from the Brookings Institution challenges this and other calculations of Saez and Piketty, arguing that while wealth and income inequality are indeed increasing (nobody disputes that), they haven’t done so at the magnitude that Piketty and his colleagues have found. The paper, authored by three Federal Reserve economists—Jesse Bricker, Alice Henriques, and John Sabelhaus—and Jacob Krimmel of Wharton, found that from 1992 to 2012, the top 1 percent’s share of wealth rose by 6 percentage points to 33 percent. This is substantially lower than estimates by Saez and his colleagues, which estimates that the share of wealth held by the 1 percent is 42 percent. The share of income estimate is more similar: The Brookings paper found that the share income earned by the 1 percent is 18 percent, while Piketty and Saez’s 2012 estimate is 23 percent.

Ameripoors see themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires, as opposed to an oppressed working class. Porky has made sure of that.

The irony is that they have the power to change it if they wish by both democratic and violent means, but they don't.

but all the major media we're for Hillary, who would continue Obama's social policies

There's nothing wrong with it as long as all socioeconomic sector is treated equal by the government and justice.
