TigerPaw, what I see is you are on the sidelines watching. You, unfortunately, harbor some jealousy and/or contempt for the achievers. You feel they should be taxed severely in order to balance with those who have not achieved. Wouldn't it be better if the playing field was balanced and everyone could have the opportunity to grow and build in accordance with their drive and abilities. Productivity is severely damaged when people are overtaxed. Government then becomes a giant "sucker" from the producers in order to fund their over priced programs. What you have then are a lot of people who prefer "government programs" to being productive. Also, the producers don't feel good about their pockets being picked to fund those programs. It would be wonderful if everyone would produce to the extent of their abilities.
