As a group they are responsible for most of the tax burden and much of the charitable giving as well.
The witch hunt to further punish and deride "rich people" is extremely counterproductive and a bit of a farce.
maybe you should look into the charity work of carnegie and rockafeller to see what im talking about.
or actually read my post.
these people being taxed would be the ones incotrol of how the money goes back to society.
there are dozens if not hundreds who have pleged to give away more than half their worth when they die, thats good and all, but if you pool that money and put those people that worked hard to make that money and know waht they are doing with it, these revolutionaries of buisness, in charge of its uses, youd have somehting much much much better.
