"When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die"

"If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich."  ~John F. Kennedy

"What is most important for democracy is not that great fortunes should not exist, but that great fortunes should not remain in the same hands. In that way there are rich men, but they do not form a class."  ~Alexis de Tocqueville

This is a must-read op-ed at Bloomberg, written by a man who founded many companies and last year raked in an eight-figure income (on which he only paid 11% in taxes).

I think he knows whereof he speaks.
