Why the 99% hate the 1%?

I am not in the 1% yet, but I am thankfully doing fine.  I work hard, living below my means, save as much as I can, help others in need if possible, and go on with my life.  I was never really poor but I have relatives and friends who are not so well off and I am aware of all the unfortunate people out there who are not doing so well.  That is why I am conscious and aware of the world around me.  I have never met anyone who hates me for my wealth or success.

So when these 1%ers talk about why the Occupy movement is after them, the reality is that these people are insensitive (remember the Mitt Romeny comments about calling himself unemployed after making millions of dollars in each year without moving a finger?) and cruel.  Look at this photo of Tamara Ecclestone, a billionaire who is wearing a designer dress and pretending to be a homeless.  Just disgusting.
