You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for; you hired workers the rest of us paid to educate; you, uh, were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory and hire someone to protect against this, because of the work the rest of us did.

"The rest of us?" Successful people with successful businesses pay the highest rate of taxes. 50% of "the rest of us" pay no taxes at all.

Shakespeare wrote the books, the rest of us read them; Beethoven wrote the music, the rest of us listen; the Wright brothers built the plane, the rest of us ride on them. The value to society from the creator/ innovator/ entrepreneur is in the product, not the percentage that the rest of us can skim off the profits. Leftists don’t seem to understand this or don’t want to admit it.
