>>How is that for the 'victims' ?

LOL.

Seems to me the US needs to institute prestigious awards similar to the Knighthood. Right now, for many of these people the only "award" is the size of the bundle they can scoop off the middle class. Creating an award associated with civic duty might help restore some balance. After all, once you have $50M it's more than you can spend so it makes little sense to spend the rest of your life trying to grow it to $500M, but that's the only yardstick they know. Give these people something else to aspire to and who knows what might happen.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
