Punitive taxes on a minority group to satiate the flames of envy? That doesn't sound like productive policy.

Strawman. Also, the rich are not a minority. they project so much power that to call them a minority is almost racist.

It isn't about envy. I don't want everyone to have luxury cars and steak dinners every night. But I also don't think we should be subsidizing wal-mart, amazon, megacorps who continually rape our country and avoid taxes. We don't need to tax that much more to help balance the scales.

Of course, we can keep ignoring it. And then there will be blood. Look at history - it will come.
