Link. How do you think they got to be rich???
You actually believed it was through "hard work" and they would "create jobs" if you lowered their tax burden?
SUCKERS!
This part is my favorite:

Another study provided some insight into people?s inability to understand the nature of their privilege.
The participants played monopoly but the game was rigged. At the beginning of the game, a coin was flipped and the winner of that coin-flip was given twice as much monopoly money and was also allowed two rolls of the dice instead of one.
Of course, the participant who started out with twice as much money and also got to roll the dice twice on each turn eventually won the game.
You might expect the winner to be gracious in victory since they were afforded such a privileged starting position.
But the privileged players weren?t graceful at all, instead, they routinely bragged about their wealth and became fairly insufferable throughout the game.
Worse than that ? after the game when they were asked why they think they won, most of them spoke of their brilliant tactics, their finesse at the game of monopoly and their daring moves.
