I think that the rich do need to get taxed more, but only slightly. If Obama had it his way, it'd be the Communist States of America. The gov. does need to plain old raise the taxes on everyone to eliminate the ever growing debt, on the rich and the poor. Look at Greece, they wanted low taxes and high benefits, and they got it, for a little while, and then everything went kaput. The U.S. is headed in the same direction. We need to make some sacrifices on internal benefits, military, and other various programs, and raise the taxes, so that the government can afford benefits to a smaller extent when we're retired. In the mean time, we need to hunker down and deal with because the United States Cannot Afford to continue as it is.
U.S. needs to tax more, spend less, make better investments. Everyone wants a ride without any bumps, but there's no such road. Give and take. Hunker down and make do until the storm blows over.
Anyhow, what do I know? Not enough to fix anything big, but enough to see the problem and offer a potential solution. I'm sure there are ther, better ways, but I'm too narrow minded to see them.
