The wealthy bitch and moan about higher taxes ad nauseam. The economy is a cycle regardless of who's in power, everything eventually comes full circle. If the disparity between the classes continues to grow, higher taxes will be the least of your problems. Modern America has not yet seen a truly desperate society, including the 1920's depression. If it gets that bad again in todays world you'll be wishing you could pay higher taxes just to make the nightmare go away.

In short, pay now or pay way more later fuckers
