BINGO.........

It isn't a matter of wanting to rob anyone, or have a nanny state. It is a matter of those with more have more responsibility for the environments they succeed in. 

If anyone has ever studied the tax rate history between 1945  and 1980 there was one point where the effective rate on the top earners was 90% but after deductions 50%. 

So if you make 10 Billion a year, cry me a river if you only take home 5 billion. The idea in the west isn't to compete to become third world labor, but if we gave the GOP everything they wanted, we'd be that third world labor that CEOs love.
