 Also I think the rich should be taxed more. They are gaining more from your society so they should give more back.


So in what way do the rich get more from society? The rich have the same roads as the poor, the rich have the same hospitals as the poor, the rich have the same police/fire services as the poor. So where do the rich get more?

The rich get less if anything. Prime example is how my Grandpa worked his entire life and since he made too much money in his life he wasn't eligible to get his pension, which should have been rightfully his since he paid for it. By the way he was self made, he worked his way up from a low level employee at a lumberyard to owning his own lumber business. He wasn't "given everything" like all the poor people say about the rich.
