They get the most out of society, so paying back in is only fair.
Very few rich people get that way without making use of the people society supports as employees, yet very few rich people seem to appreciate the fact that those employees have more costs involved than salaries and benefits, and they are resentful about paying their fair share of maintaining the resources they use (their employees) that society provides.
Rich folks love well educated and talented people, and hate paying for the schools that produce them. They're rather short sighted in that regard.
Use of the term "rich people" in this little broadside only refers to some of the rich people, not all. Easy to tell which ones, by listening for their distinct warning call:
"Taxes, too many Taxes, taxes, too many taxes, Taxes, too many Taxes, taxes, too many taxes, Taxes, too many Taxes, taxes, too many taxes, Taxes, too many Taxes, taxes, too many taxes, Taxes, too many Taxes, taxes, too many taxes,"

Nice rant! It reminds me of an interesting article a few months ago by a guy named Larry Beinhart. He argues that there is a strong correlation between ...
(1) High taxes rates on the wealthy (we're talking 88% to 92%), and
our best overall economic growth rates.
(2) Tax cuts for the wealthy and boom, bubble, burst events (1920s,
1980s and now).
His article is here:
