Giving money to the wealthy is not just automatically bad. Bailing out corporations that employ hundreds of thousands of people is more important than giving money to individuals. It's an extremely basic economic concept that *does* value the lower class despite how it reads. It's easy to be jealous of rich people, but wealth is created; it doesn't just automatically appear. Taking from the rich and giving to the poor sounds like a great idea when you're six years old. You could tax the wealthy at 99% and they'd still have more money than most people, but *who cares*? How good is your life? If your sense of worth derives from knowing that nobody has "too much money", I feel bad for you. Utopia is not attainable, don't make the perfect the enemy of the good.
