All I've stated if that we are for equality, we should be all in. Rich shouldn't pay a larger amount of their income than the poor, just as the rich shouldn't get a larger say in our elected officials than the poor.

However, I live in a world where I know this not to be true and each person will support that inequality to support his/her point of view.

The argument can be made that the more successful someone is, the more he/she knows what it takes to make the country successful. Of course that's a very simplistic view; and one I would not advocate at face value, but it does have merit.

i was simply providing a reasoned counter to the OP and for that I got classified as a racist among other things.
