Did not the upper 2% EARN that money?
What I find really interesting is that most of the wealthy people I've heard discuss this topic that were self-made millionaires/billionaires don't mind paying the higher taxes and are actually grateful to the society that allowed them to climb to such a position in life.
Wrong. Most will tell you they succeeded IN SPITE of taxes and regulations.
I have an uncle who fits into this upper 2% bracket. I can say he has not had a vacation in 35 years. He started his own company and works an easy 14 hours a day. It happens to be an offshore oilfield supply company. IN SPITE of the health care bill and Obamas offshore drilling ban his company has not had to have a lay off.
In the USA we all should have a chance to succeed and not be punished if we do.
