If not for the wealthy, we would not have the decent lifestyle we enjoy. I do not care how rich someone gets, as long as they do it honestly. Taking the tax breaks provided by the government is honestly. Even the supreme court has stated that no one should pay more taxes than required by law. No only do the rich pay most of the tax revenues taken in by the government, but they also pay a lot of sales taxes. They purchase expensive goods, including jewelry, cars, boats, vacations, and other types of rich lifestyle expenses. Not only do they pay taxes, sales taxes, but they also pay for labor. And the cost of the goods they purchase pays for jobs. Poor people do not hire employees. So, if you take away from the rich, they will either go elsewhere or not hire new employees. Then the economy tanks. I realize that I have put this simply, but sometimes it seems like you are having a conversation with the simple.

It always amazes me to observe those that are hypnotized by a wealthy person that assures you that the rich are evil. I bet they laugh so hard that they have trouble sleeping at night.
