You seem to think that there are some rich 9-5ers that will be affected by this. That these people will find it harder to make a life for themselves. The tax Obama is backing is for the top 2% of incomes: From people like CEOs of major company's, Senators and congressmen (including Obama!), and celebrities of various forms (TV, movies, writers, etc). The creme de la creme. Not everyone else you've met in your life (likely, at any rate).
This isn't a communist agenda. This is an attempt to slow down the widening of the gap between the Haves and the Have-nots (or, if you prefer, the Uber-rich, and the middle class).
