Thats probably because a lot of people don't like the idea of massive businesses, millionaire CEOs and people that haven't worked a day at a real job in decades having control and influence in politics in ways that the overwhelming majority of people can't replicate. Fuck rich and powerful people. They're the reason the current minimum wage is one of the lowest in history when you adjust for inflation and why changes to tax policy often benefit the top 10% more so than middle and lower class

Min wage is shouldn't even exist. If you don't like your current wage then go somewhere else or get training. Min wage is not free market. Obviously taxesbshould benefit the rich, just because you're rich doesn't mean you should subsidize the poor. Being rich has and should have advantages, if you want said avantages yourself then get to rich. A lot of poor people have climbed the economic ladder before 

There's more to getting rich than just getting out there and working hard if that was the case most of the country would be rolling in cash. Being rich has the advantage of comfort and economic security that alone should be enough but a lot of the upper class wants to see politics and economics skewed in their favor to further benefit their wealth as opposed to the wealth of common citizens that don't have the means to influence politics in the same way as the rich. From my point of view rich people are the reason we can't pass major gun legislation, rich people are the reason global warming is a debated topic, rich people are the reason both political parties cater to masive corporations instead of smaller businesses and so on and so on. Based on your posts you seem to want some late 1800s style capitalist paradise where millionaires and bankers are free to do whatever they want everyone else be damned
