You're missing the point. For one thing, what I said was that the top one percent did NOT work hard for their money. More often than not, they reached that 1-percent through a combination of family money, tort reform (laws which allow for serious workers' rights violations by limiting penalties for unsafe working environments,) tax evasion, and Republican presidents. And the reason this is important is because under Bush, we went from a huge surplus to an economic recession. Someone must pay to fix this problem, and there is no justifiable reason why it should be the other 99% of this country, who only possess 10% of the total wealth.
