I do see where you are coming from. I just think how we approach it needs to keep in mind that the rich are no better, or worse, than the poor as far as humanity is concerned.

I think, personally, that we all own a share of making this country work. Some can afford to have a larger share.

But it does seem, to me, that many want to tax the rich as some sort of moral play instead of what is actually good for the economy. As if attaining wealth has some sort of negative connotation. It does not.

I have heard many pontificate that we should tax the rich - they can afford it! That is not a good reason. If we can show that the government will use that money wisely, that it will not go to more waste but actually make a difference then a positive argument can be made.

I am not against that not anything you said. I AM against demonizing the “rich” to make it more palatable to take more earnings from them.

That’s all.
