A group called Patriotic Millionaires has failed to get Congress to raise their taxes or boost the minimum wage. Now they're taking their concerns about inequality to swing-state voters.

What would that change? Why not tax them 100%? Guess who's paying the bill? Us. Taxing the rich won't change anything. If you want some people to have less money, then you should try to not give them money. I'm not saying it is easy but that's how its done. Then they can always get you by taxing you to pay for their stuff. Taxes are never for the rich, its a trick.
