95. how is taxing them at a rate lower than the rich were taxed back then
screwing them? Seriously.

Also, keep in mind that no one got rich without the necessary infrastructure of a society, all of which is paid for largely by our taxes. So not only do you need a large consumer class who can afford to buy your products in order to get rich, but you also need a system of tax-payer funded roads, government-insured banks, etc.

The only people currently getting screwed are us. Raising the tax rate for the upper, upper class is not screwing them one bit, and I challenge you to find one rich person who would trade places with a poor person in order to get the lower tax rate.
