Do you consider yourself more left or right wing?

Source, please? Even if true, it should still be higher. The top10% can easily afford it.

I don't know much about your country, however, wikipedia says the the Total effective federal tax rate (includes corporate income and excise taxes) for that top 10% has been between 21.6% and 29.4% in 2010. I don't know if these numbers grew a lot until now, I can't imagine they did. 

The top tax rate in Germany is 45%, by the way, and even that is way too low.

72% is of all taxes, not tax rate.  

I also think your post is exactly what is wrong with left think.  Love how you volunteer other people's money and decide for them.  Lol.  

How about your worry about your money and not mine?

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”

For clarifictaion, I don't want to make rich people poor. They can stay rich, that's fine, but the extent of it is what's wrong. The top 10% can pay even more taxes and it wouldn't hurt them at all, meanwhile the lowest 10% would benefit massively. The imbalance should be countered to a certain degree, not totally, but a little bit. The government would be able to provide better public services -> a win for everyone. Improved wealth distribution would lead to less crime -> another win for everyone. Tell me how that is a bad thing. 

But millionaire xyz maybe wouldn't afford his 20th appartment, yes. That's the sacrifice.
