Ahhh... Common fallacy that only the rich will get hurt. What most don't seem to appreciate is that a system that destroys inititive and personal gumption undermines everything; to the point that there truly is nothing left to divide among the people.
My husband and I visited the former Soviet Union before the Berlin wall came down. What was shocking to us was the abandoned buildings and lack of stores. If a line started to form anywhere, people jumped into it without regard to what might be for sale because there were so few goods to buy.
Our poorest people in the United States appeared to have a much greater standard of living than most of the citizens of the Soviet Union. This is the future we are racing towards as the Govt continues to gobble up the economy and regulate and tax businesses right out of this country.
