It has nothing to do with a nanny state or social programs.
If you need more revenue, you can't tax the lower 50% more and do it, even if you took 100% of the money they have, it's not enough. I think you may under estimate how large the divide is. Someone is going to have to pay for this (it's already here!).... do you want it to be you or the guy that has a few hundred million or billion to spare?

sorry, but it has everything to do with nanny state & social programs.
There reaches a point in the tax rate that you spend half your life working for the government instead of for your family. It encroaches on the peoples ability to save & prosper. Acquired savings is a form of freedom, so making it harder for the public to save damages freedom.
If you are going to defend the spending, you will need to justify why spending cannot be cut & why americans should work more & more for these programs instead of for themselves.
