You say that sarcastically but there is a unavoidable truth there that the Left simply refuses to acknowledge.
The government simply can not tax the rich in the same way that it does the poor and the middle class.
The rich has the means to avoid government taxation above a certain level. If the government tries to tax the rich above a level that they are willing to pay they will use the resources they have to find a way to circumvent the excessive tax.
The Left always brings up how prosperous the US was under a top marginal tax of 92%. What the Left never mentions is that the rich never actually paid at that tax rate.
The rich are rich because they are smart and resourceful people. They have the resources and influence to keep what they earn. We the common people only have our numbers. We live and die together. We have to come together and say with one voice “We are TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY.
“So-called ‘tax cuts for the rich’ led to increased tax revenues— with people earning high incomes paying not only a larger sum total of tax revenues, but even a higher proportion of all tax revenues.” ....Thomas Sowell, “The Truth Behind the Tax Cut Lies,” 12-2-10
