Should he leave the money HE EARNED to the government instead so they can piss it away?

If the government lowers taxes on the middle class and makes up the shortfall by taxing the super rich more, then the government can pee it away all it wants.

Wow how sad! Well Merry Christmas to you anyway.

Selfish and jealous, aren’t you?
Why in heck should his after tax money be left to the government? He already was taxed on his earnings? Not enough for jealous folks like you though.
BTW, you certainly have no ability to reason.

How do you define super rich? Let's suppose that, like your socialist brethren, you define them as the top 1%. In order to remain revenue neutral, for every 1% you lower the taxes on the other 99% you need to raise the top 1%'s taxes 5%. And that's assuming they maintain the same level of economic activity, which they won't.

So given that, how much should we raise taxes on the "super rich"? 5% so you can pay 1% less? 10% so you can pay 2% less? How much?
