It is the wealthy and above average earners that already pay most of the taxes in America and some disagree with where the government is spending funds and even what they are taxing (one of the primary causes of our Civil War mind you). Redistribution of wealth has been tried in countries like Venezuela and many places but it collapses eventually when you have a single point of failure. Hell theres Social Security which got basically ruined by the government.

Any kind of redistribution would need to be at the full discretion of local governments instead of a federal body. The amount of power our federal government has amassed itself would make the founding fathers roll over in their graves, or pick up their musquets and revolt.

> one of the primary causes of our Civil War mind you

Yeah don’t mention slavery. Everything else was a big second.

And cherry pick some extreme examples.

I wasn't trying to list out all the causes of the civil war, it wasn't topical when discussing taxes. I didn't say it was "THE" cause.
