It's not about the special treatment, its about being equal under the law.

I agree 100%, we all should be, but in today's America, the most "specially treated" are not rich, so if you are to hate people for being special under law, it is not the rich you should be hating first.

Well, if “specially treated” also includes “especially poorly treated”, then sure, there’s plenty of non-rich being “specially treated”. Take your pick from the non-rich subsets of immigrants, trans, kinda-Mexican-looking, pregnant-and-crossing-state-lines...

You misunderstand, I don't hate rich people, I want them to be accountable to a democratic system of governance aka paying their owed tax.

[dmitrygr]

They all pay their owed tax. If you dislike the tax law that allows them to pay as much as they do, change it.

That's the idea!

Like I said, there are representation issues because money is speech which gives the rich extra say in policy. So it's not exactly that simple, because of the anti-democratic pro-rich bias in our legislative system, but we'll get there.
