I know personally a lot of Wall Street guys do not like 08

The reason is very simple.

O8 shows the least amount of respect to people who actually pay his bill.

I think the dislike is justified, but I won't call it hatred.

Although I think raising tax will never solve any problem, even if he wants to raise tax, it does not take to wage a war against the rich, and dividing people. Not to mention, 250K pretax income for a family is hardly rich in my state.
