Why? If you calculate it out taxing the rich can't help you. Even if it worked, it wouldn't provide a meaningful increase in government income. The "middle class" are the only ones that can be taxed to actually achieve sponsoring the government.

So while I understand the arguments for fairness, it cannot meaningfully affect my situation, and therefore it's a bit like an "there shouldn't be any homeless" type situation. Ideally, yes, I'd want the rich to pay. Practically, it's rather low on the priority list.
