That is really throwing the baby out with the bathwater, because I think the majority of wealthy people are honest and trying to do good, as opposed to the few dishonest and corrupt individuals among them.

That's certainly true, but if you're a poor person the actions of the dishonest few has a far greater impact on your life than anything the good, honest rich people do, because the dishonest ones (generally speaking) do things that are exploitative of poor people. Poor people don't hate success per se, but they hate success when it's at their expense. I imagine the honest rich people also hate that sort of success. I hope so anyway.
