^^^^^^ So much this!
I get so sick of the economic right or libertarians who falsely jump to the conclusion that we(liberals/progressives) want America to become Cuba. The same cries of "socialism or communism" were made when social security was made law, and when Medicare was made law.
Saying that things are lopsided at this point in history does not mean I want America to become China or the Soviet Union.
If one can afford to make a rocket and go into space in the private sector, they can afford to pay more in taxes.
