I'm not ultra conservative. I've never voted blue in my life. And I don't think that if you just work hard enough you can be a 1% individual.

However, I do think that nobody is holding anyone else back. I also realize there's a middle ground. Not a middle class, but there's many many many people out there who manage to escape the middle class without becoming one of the 85.

And if 85 people control the same amount of money than 3.5 billion, I would guess they aren't just sleeping under it like Smaug the dragon. There's literally trillions of dollars floating around out there. So either go get some or don't. Blaming other people doesn't solve anything, but anger is probably better directed at the liberal arts degree hanging on the wall *at least on mine* than Kevin O'Leary.
