I think its clear most people would like the distribution to look more like it did 1980 than 2014. I'm sorry I forgot what a socialist nightmare 1980s America was.

The wealthy were responsible for a lower percentage of the total tax revenue in 1980 than they are currently. I get the impression thats not the point you're trying to make, however.
