The bottom line on all this (for me) is that the ultra-rich and all their money - not just the taxes on their money but all of it - is not enough to help for very long. The Feds don't know how to manage money; it's like having a crackhead kid; you think giving them money for rent is gonna help things, but it's not. Let the government stop spending and show us some proof that the taxes we're paying now are being used wisely and I would be happy to entertain a tax hike... as it is now, no bueno.
