I want to thank individuals in the top 2% who side with the 98%
For instance, look at what Bruce Springsteen wrote:
Right now the opposition’s resort to voter suppression in so many states is not receiving as much attention as it deserves. I believe that all of us, of whatever views, should be opposing these anti-voter, anti-citizen efforts.
Right now, for the President to be effective in his next term he needs our increased support and he needs support in the Congress, where some sterling candidates, such as current Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio, challenger Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts, and so many others, are fighting to make their constructive voices heard.
Right now, there is an ever increasing division of wealth in this country, with the benefits going more and more to the 1 percent. For me, President Obama is our best choice to begin to reverse this harmful development.
Right now, we need a President who has a vision that includes all of our citizens, not just some, whether they are our devastated poor, our pressured middle class, and yes, the wealthy too; whether they are male or female, black, white, brown, or yellow, straight or gay, civilian or military.

Bruce and many other very wealthy people could easily side with Mitt in order to get more tax cuts, at the expense of the rest of the nation, the 98%. It's an emotional decision for them based on true concern for others.
Contrast that with other millionaires and billionaires who have actually seen their portfolios expand over the past 4 years, yet would prefer to vote against their own interests because, in their minds, President Obama is too uppity and the 98% needs to be put in their place. I'm sure they know that if the middle class is destroyed, their companies can't stay open, much less get tax breaks, but they don't care!
