I have never heard anyone say they wanted the middle class to be taxed more. It's crazy how people think that 13% = 3 million a year is less than 30% = 5K a year....

Dude is less based on amount earned. Alot of the american dream was to do better then your parents. This will be the first generation that wont have that. There was a time dad could work and pay all the bills. Kids went to good schools. You could work a part time job and put yourself thru college without a mountain of debt. Shit Andy Grove when to free public college in NY.
A factory worker made enough to own a house, a couple of cars and could put his kids thru school. So the next generation did better. That's very very hard now.
Not everyone wants to be master of the universe, they want to go to work do a good job and be able to take care of their family that's getting harder and harder to do in the US.
