You're suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
The whole "don't tax the rich" thing is predicated in the fallacy that the rich can allocate resources more efficiently than anyone else.
History has shown beyond any doubt that this is not true. It's actually the middle class which is most efficient at allocating economic resources. Relative to the middle class, the rich hoard and waste.
So I say, tax the rich and bring down the burden on the middle class.
The rich give the rest of us no loyalty and are owed none. They purchased our representation right out from under us. They've screwed you and me in every way it has been possible for them to do so, and they've done it with relish and gusto.
Here's Hank Paulson laughing at your naivete. 36m 15s in, he's mocking you for falling for it.
It's long past time for you to wake the hell up.
LONG past.
May I suppose you want to also INCREASE SPENDING alongside your HIGHER TAXES plan?
Take your “hate the rich” rhetoric over to some Bernie Sanders Rally. You are in the wrong place here, pal.
It's long past time for you to wake the hell up.
LONG past.

The compact is that everyone is taxed less but the money not taxed is either saved in the USA or spent in the USA. What has happened with globalization is the rich took the money they saved from lower taxes and moved the savings over seas or invested overseas.
The Wall Streeters broke the compact - this loyalty to the rich in hopes they golden shower us from above (pun intended) is over. Thank you, Mr. Trump for not being afraid to point the reality of it.
