Democrats want to separate the rich, from the very rich.

The twentieth century called, they want their bullshit trickle-down economics back.
Seriously, if you still think trickle-down works, you're a fucking fool.
The people on the bottom are pretty much fucked no matter what.

But it's not like the top is an exclusive club. Most of the people at the top started at *gasp* the bottom.

Define bottom, because I think you're full of shit. Protip: Bill Gates was NOT at the bottom.

Drunk college student? That is in fact, where I am right now. (Except I'm sober.)
If I want to start a company and make a million, there's nothing stopping me. That doesn't mean I'll suceed. See, life is not a guaranteed sucess, and not very many people make it to the top. Most of the time, it's luck, or being in the right place at the right time. Granted, it takes money to breed money, but buying stocks or starting is something the average person can do quite easily.

This rich guy has no benefit to work harder, pay people, hire people - what's his motivation?

Money. Just not as much. For some reason you think these guys are actually busting their chops running corporations like Ford, GE or Microsoft and barely scraping by. You're wrong.
I say good. Let someone in who wants to better himself and make money, versus the people who want to milk/bilk it for as much as they can get. If these morons left, or quit, there is still a void that needs to be filled.
Do you think if Microsoft closed up shop, decided not make another OS and dissolve, no one would fill their shoes? Are you that naive? That's my point. Let them threaten to leave. Hell, LET them leave. They remind me of the kid with the only football in the neighborhood. He doesn't like the rules getting changed so he stops playing. Though, there is still a desire to play football, so either someone there will buy another one, or a new kid will move in with one. They will play, even when the rules get changed.

Why close up, when you can just leave the country?
Businesses have already moved elsewhere, like Canada and Mexico...thanks to Nafta.
Oh well, they are still doing as fine as ever, except for those that were previously employed here in the US, LOL.
