Most Americans don't hate rich people as much as pole Gephardt apparently does. Americans don't begrudge billionaires like Microsoft's Bill Gates or Federal Express's Fred Smith their fortunes. The vast majority of Americans don't want to tax the rich out of existence; they want to become rich themselves. http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=6111
