Interesting article. Incredibly biased, but interesting. While I agree that some rich people are hypocritical cry babies who will be put against the wall when the revolution comes, there are some who aren't. Making sweeping statements against everyone who is rich is just as bad as making blanket statements against all the poor. It's a highly complex issue, and a short cracked.com article is far from the ultimate answer. Yes, a lot of rich people made their fortunes through sheer luck and being in the right time and place. (See Warren Buffett and Michael Jordan.) But there are those who really did work hard for their money and earned every last cent with their blood, sweat and tears. Yes, the rich should pay taxes at the same rate as the rest of us. But the government is horrible when it comes to spending: there's too much waste and not enough progress. If all the problems could be solved with money alone, a lot of the issues that plague our society (discrimination, horrible schools, etc.) would have been solved a long time ago.
I don't pretend to know the answer, but it sure as hell isn't one-sided bashing...
