I'm not worth hundreds of millions. I really am unemployed - as in I don't live paycheck to paycheck anymore. I live off savings and my 401k. So sure I envy him and his multiple homes and car elevator. I'm only human.

But to try to excuse the gross siphoning of money from the 99% to increase the wealth of the 1% as just so much sour grapes is ridiculous. It's about fairness. The lower 99% have just as much right to feel they should have food, a place to live, health care, education, and police and firemen to protect them.
