Tax The Rich

I keep hearing, "The rich worked for the money and will stop", "It is punishing the rich for being successful." There are so many quotes people buy into-the poor are lazy, the rich successful and why hurt the job creators. On and on, the falsehoods keep going. A flat tax while easy will make the poor and middle class pay more in taxes and reduce taxes on the rich. We keep redistributing income-now it is upward from the poor to the rich. 275% increase in income for the top 1%. The tax cuts are increasing the debt, transferring wealth to the rich and hurting jobs and the poor. The answer, tax the rich..Next up...why the rich get the benefits of the government.
