That would go against the whole "you didn't build that / you didn't earn that" schtick, so it will be denied, distorted, deflected and damned.

Are we to assume that everyone posting in this thread is among these "rich" people? If so, why are you all so unhappy all the time?

We don't hate the rich.....

We just believe the tax cuts and incentives we have given them have not worked and they need to contribute at previous levels

Hardly, some people do, just like Christianity shuns accumulated wealth..yet not all Christians live a life of poverty...

You mean you haven't been allowed to take all of their money...how generous of you...

Tax cuts are easy......15% flat tax on everyone....that way they pay the same as everyone else...right?

When challenged, conservatives always fall back on the extremes
Taking more money becomes taking all money

There is not a flat tax proposal that does not result in the rich paying much less and the working poor paying much more

Look to Trump for the perfect example of a guy who worked himself up from a mere one million dollar gift from the old man to the multi billionaire he is today.

That can't be true because the 1% steal everything from the lower classes that's how they got rich you know

But the question then is why aren't you rich?

When you start contributing to society like the rich and giving millions to charities to help the underprivileged as well as providing jobs, then you don't have any power to give tax breaks for shit or add your 2 cents about what another man should do with his money.

You and the Big gov always dictate what you should do with other people money, health care and wages. Always an expert in somebody else's business except your own. Share your own cash.

That's how America supposedly stole everything from the natives and you got property and land you know, but I don't see your ass returning it back.
