Let me tell you what happens when you beg the government to "tax the rich".
The government says "OK!" and increase taxes on the poor while the rich continue to pay nothing.
When you say "but it was supposed to just be the rich!" they say "You asked for more taxes and you got it".

Why?
Because the government IS rich and the rich are their friends and this will always be true.

The only way to stop the rich from using the government to increase their power is to reduce the power of government itself and in order to do that you must reduce taxes, it is the only way.

If you don't know this by now you're not worth listening to or conversing with.
