The rich are rich because they control the top level of capitalism selling to the middleclass. When the middleclass is weakened, the ripple-up effect hurts the rich. And everyone loses. Therefore instead of trickle-down, you need stimulate up. Then everyone wins. And the rich can afford to pay their fair share of taxes. Let them pay for the military which protects their conglomerates. Nobody was complaining much about taxes during the Clinton years. They were too busy getting richer. And the government ran a surplus. Now we have the opposite effect, The Bush Effect. Trickle down in paralysis.

I guess your idea to deal with the inequities is to redistribute income and take it from those who earn it to give to those who didn't.

Not without a revolution.

It is absolutely within the purview of a democratic nation's citizens and elected representatives to chose an economic system
