When government taxes one class more, they don't reduce the amount taken from others. They simply want more money. The more they get, the more they spend. Look how budgets work. The more each agency spends, the more they get. At the end of the year, fraud, waste and abuse run rampant because they must spend all they were allotted the year before to ensure receiving the same the next year. They don't actually need it, but they want it. Why they don't just prove what they actually need and go from there is a mystery. It wouldn't hurt a thing to get different amounts each year, depending on need. Common sense has nothing to do with government spending.
Politicians are already spending money they don't have. Every year, new taxes are imposed. Virtually everything is taxed now. And the ways money is spent gets more ridiculous each year. Despite dingbat Pelosi claiming no cuts can be made, the frivolous spending continues and they keep coming up with more ways to spend.
If a person was doing this and not living within their means, they'd go bankrupt unless they cut up their credit cards and stopped all unnecessary spending. Government just steals more. It's not their money and they act like spoiled rich kids who have no limits.
If they tax the wealthy people more, we will end up having people who are less wealthy. Eventually, you do run out of other peoples' money. That is a fact. It makes no sense that little tyrants come along every few years wanting to test that theory. Look at history. Learn from it.
Middle class is already shrinking and much of that has happened in the last 5 years. Obamacare alone might be the straw that breaks the camel's back. Even if the libs starting stealing the majority of what the wealthy earn, it won't make a measureable difference because they'll spend it on new stuff and not pay down the debt.
Going after the wealthy to make them pay their fair share is nothing more than a talking point designed to give hope to those at the bottom, who believe that the money taken from the wealthy will end up in their hands. Some will, as it is now, but not enough to alter their lives.
The real 1% is the federal reserve banks and top officials in Washington, who become mind blowingly wealthy during their "service to their country." Those people will never be touched by the IRS.
Wealth confiscation and redistribution doesn't help anyone in the long run. It only serves to bring down the wealthy, not elevate the poor. Sad part is that many who push policies to do that know better, but they are only looking toward the power and wealth they covet and are willing to sell out the people to get it.
