Look at the flood of articles and stories that have come out since the president proposed the millionaire tax. The common theme is whining and crying from the upper income crowd, insisting that they must be pandered to, they must be protected from anything they don't want.

You gotta admire the hutzpa of the top 1% trying to use their media voices to encourage regular folks to join in with them in their Class Warfare battle with the other 99% but they just may pull it off.

We already see a move to increase taxes on low and middle income earners to spare the 1%er the horror of tax increases on themselves, and already some people are demanding that their own taxes be raised in order to prevent the richer folks from having to pick up the burden.

It is amazing what you can do when you can control the message.
