Taxes paid needs to be commensurate with wealth, or inequality spirals out of control in a capitalist system.
There is no such thing as "the wealth" in this country. It's a liberal myth. It's based on the phony philosophy that the reason some have too little, is because others have too much.
Now if there was any truth to that, I would go for a car loan, and the bank would tell me they would love to lend me money, but they can't, because the rich have all the money. Or if I asked my employer for a raise, and he told me he'd love to give me one, but the rich have it all.
Wealthy is virtually infinite in this country, not finite. We don't live in a bubble. You can make as much as you wish anytime you like. And if you took every dollar from every wealthy person in this country today, you'd be no better off tomorrow, because you wouldn't get one dime of it.
