The real problem with “the rich” is that there aren’t enough of them when you start talking tax increases. You really need the lifting power of the middle class. That never seems as popular as sticking it to “the rich”.

The top 5% of the nation has almost half the nation’s individual wealth, and earns about 40% of the total income. It isn’t a matter of there not being enough of them, it’s the matter that they’ve got too much.
