perfect response. possibly the main reason people started hating the wealthy is because they no longer equate them with producers of products like henry ford or whatever, but now equate them with "do-nothings" like hedge fund managers. still, the idea that financial markets and high end corporate stuff is making money for nothing is a myth. even the stuff the populace hates is productive work. i can't explain it nearly as well as i would like though, so i'll leave it at that.
