Remember, those successful (super rich as you call them) create jobs, spend more back into the economy, than over 95% of everyone else. Sticking it to them heavier simply because of their success is no solution, certainly not a long term one, which is what any country needs. (But especially the US) Remember, when you stick it to the rich and gouge them for more and more taxes, they tend to start doing things like.... oh, laying off thousands of employees, downsizing, spending less, etc, just like anybody would when faced with taxes that are unevenly balanced.
I'm not saying who to vote for, I am only saying that I wish one of the candidates would start thinking a little differently about their tax plans.

Right, but you need people with disposable income to buy the goods and services. People with low incomes still drive, buy clothes, food, etc. The more you tax the less they can spend and they are the majority like it or not. fuck them too hard and you have a revolution on your hands.
