No one is saying just taxing the wealthy will get us where we need to be. Just that it's the fair and logical place to start,

Since 1979 the average pre-tax income for the bottom 90% of households has decreased by $900, while that of the top 1% increased by over $700,000, as federal taxation became less progressive.
