America's Sacred Cow - The Rich and Affluent

I'd be interested to know why it is permissible to attack, deprive, and otherwise demonize the middle-class worker but we cannot question, criticize, or indict the wealthy and affluent. On Wednesday, March 23 Ann Marie Buerkle, the Republican Congresswoman from New York stated that any criticism or attack on the wealthy is class warfare. “Why do we have class warfare?” she added. “Why do we want to punish the rich? They worked hard for their money.” What the middle-class doesn't work hard for their money? Is that why Republicans are in league with the big corporations to bust unions and repeal any worker's rights? Because they don't work hard for their money?

Chris Christie, The Fat Man from New Jersey, says that the problem in New Jersey is the benefits that the unionized state and municipal employees get. Not the fact that political favorites get more then their fair share of anything, at the cost of the taxpayers.

So, I want an answer. Why is it class warfare when the wealthy are criticized but not when the middle-class is? Why is it more important to deprive a worker a few pennies increase per hour then a few billion dollars to someone who already has multi-billions of dollars? Unions have to fight hard to get whatever concessions they win, no matter how measly they may be. Yet, the wealthy only sit on corporate boards and award themselves millions and billions of dollars in bonuses with just a stroke of a pen. But then they need the lowly worker to work that much harder to make up for the money that these "executives" pillage from the company. And the unions are an obstacle to get the workers to work under slave-labor conditions. The wealthy can't have that...so they want to get rid of the unions.
