DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) - The rich and powerful of the world were divided at their annual huddle on Wednesday over Barack Obama's threat to raise their taxes, with some saying policies that go after the wealthy will hurt growth, but others saying Obama was right to address capitalism's imbalances.
Obama's State of the Union address focussed on channeling middle class anger at inequality, including a call for a 30 percent minimum tax on millionaires that could make the wealth of Republican rival Mitt Romney a central election issue.
