[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's silly and ridiculous that the wealthy are so opposed to investing tax dollars into their country. The proportionally small amounts they are being asked to contribute to the commonwealth of our nation will enrich us all and not diminish their quality of life at all. Eventually as the wealth of the nation increases the wealth of our capitalist class will grow exponentially far outpacing the relative pitance they have paid in taxes.  [/quote]

Completely agree. Not to mention the stabilizing effect of having a solid middle class and good infrastructure. If the wealthy really don't want to pay their fair share (which yes, is higher than the rest of us due to their increased need for gov't services like SEC, Customs, Coast Guard, FAA, etc), then they can deal with the resulting destabilization and class wars.

I don't care how much money you make, if there's a violent uprising by downtrodden masses, well...even the rich are mortal. Doesn't make sense not to contribute to society when the alternative is going the way of the French aristocracy.[/quote]
