On the surface that seems to make sense. The government is over burdened with debt and spending that is not backed by a budget. So more money for the government from a money rich source seems to make sense, if it would correct that problem.

Under scrutiny, however, this solution falls apart on multiple grounds. Government spending is bloated so badly and in so many misguided ways that suggesting more money would be a solution to that problem is wrong. More money does not fix wastefulness, fraud, inefficiency, and such … it sanctions it. It is fair when you ask for money from a bank or some other institution that you prove you are a qualified candidate to receive it. The government is not willing to prove itself to this group of wealth holders. In fact, the spending the government intends violates the principles of handling money well. If it were handled well, then in the future it would not be necessary to ask for more. You, start by calling the very resource you would go to ‘pigs.’ You would tax them in spite of the fact that it is counter to their best interests. That suggests you see them as adversaries in the solution you propose. Basically you are proposing a solution that amounts to taxation without representation...doesn't work.
