That argument is faulted because there is a huge difference....the Small potatoes are not contributing. People hate on the wealthy but The wealthy pay more in taxes by 10 fold as do corporations who also provide structure, taxes and jobs. Yes there is some BS bailouts and there is definite corruption and waste, but that happens everywhere including Government. The only thing I will truly disagree however is putting the middle class in with the Poor. The middle get NO handouts and are actually the ones on the negative end of the stick in all cases. Perfect example is education. The Middle struggle to put our kids through college to raise good contributing members of society. The wealthy don't blink an eye, and the poor go for free.
People hate the wealthy because they aren’t wealthy themselves. The poorest areas of the country have the most hate and envy towards the wealthiest people. Throw in the racial disparity and you have people like the Squad and Bernie. It infuriates them to the point that steam is shooting out their ears and foam is dribbling from their mouths.
To me, the main difference between liberals and conservatives is that conservatives accept that life is hard, and unfair. Liberals have their heads exploding with rage that the government doesn’t control every aspect of society to ensure everyone has the same thing (communism), and is fair. Unfortunately for progressive trash, that will never happen.
