Robert Reich says billionaires should fear "us all"

Saying one group in our country should fear another group is a shame.  I expect the leader of a communist revolution to say that some folks should fear "us", but not a former Secretary of Labor. Our constitution is an attempt "to form a more perfect union" (emphasis added) and put in roadblocks to keep one group ruling without having broader support from other groups. If we think that having the 1% fear the 99% is OK, then we have no reason to think that having the 49% fear the 51% is not. We don't want people to fear government coercion; we want government to bring together all people to solve problems that they can''t solve well through voluntary action and exchange.
