Is it un-american to hate poor people?

The government is just a roadblock on my way to keeping all of my money. Hmm how do I stop those pesky poor people from voting in people that may hurt my precious BILLIONS in profits? Individual wealth is the only thing that matters! As long as I'm rich I don't care where I live. I'd prefer a country that keeps me safe from being lynched by my employees. Maybe a country that can rig some laws and oversees policy into my favor.

So dear working american poor:

"You pick up a disproportionate share of America's tax bill. You pay higher prices for a broad range of products from peanuts to prescriptions. You pay taxes that others in a similar situation have been excused from paying. You're compelled to abide by laws while others are granted immunity from them. You must pay debts that you incur while others do not. You're barred from writing off on your tax returns some of the money spent on necessities while others deduct the cost of their entertainment. You must run your business by one set of rules, while the government creates another set for your competitors. In contrast, the fortunate few who contribute to the right politicians and hire the right lobbyists enjoy all the benefits of their special status. Make a bad business deal; the government bails them out. If they want to hire workers at below market wages, the government provides the means to do so. If they want more time to pay their debts, the government gives them an extension. If they want immunity from certain laws, the government gives it. If they want to ignore rules their competition must comply with, the government gives its approval. If they want to kill legislation that is intended for the public, it gets killed." -James Steele
