They have set up a liberal strawman to attack every time they perceive someone/some group is out to deprive them of their wealth. They even hire lobbyists to go to bat for them in Congress. They can afford to do so. Most of us can't so when we are doubled taxed on our social security benefits, there isn't much we can do about it. When the richest 1% in the country feel they are being unfairly taxed they can do something about it. It would be nice if there really was class warfare in this country - that might mean the less wealthy might have a chance against the more wealthy. If there ever was class warfare in the country - the middle class and working class lost a long time ago.
