I've had right leaning people argue that rich people already pay more dollars into tax systems then he'd ever make in his life time. The more important part is, it's ridiculous that in generally ultra rich are paying proportionally much less of their earnings into taxes then 99% of people. It's ridiculous that a single mother just scraping by is paying a bigger chunk then billionaires.
But I'm beginning to realize the logic behind the relevantly poor defending the mega rich is, the relevantly poor think they could be that rich some day, and don't want higher taxes to impact that fantasy future.
