Populist Anger

I do think that people can go too far in their anger toward those who earn money and have done well. It is important to remember that elements of capitalism require that people attempt to obtain wealth.

Earn is the operative phrase here. Anger is justified towards those who whine about what they should get, no matter the circumstance. This Matt Taibbi piece about the AIG executive who published his resignation in New York Times captures this perfectly.
