Not every rich person is a greedy bastard anymore than every poor person is noble and pure. No socioeconomic group has a monopoly on values.

The problem isn’t that some people have gotten rich. The problem is that not enough people get a chance to.

It's not the rate it's the target. Taxing capital is like taxing seed. Every dollar stolen in taxes is actually all the jobs and products that that dollar could have grown into. Tax what is taken out of the engine of production instead.

yeah, talk to IRS and ask them what's up with all the loopholes.

The top tax rate in the 1950's during the Eisenhower years was about 91% ... Today the richest 400 families pay an average of 23% ... while many households pay at a rate of 24.2% ... a higher tax rate than the 400 richest families ... Think this should change?
