And for that group of people, they are successful. They live the life they want. If the government didn't need 35+% of their income in taxes they would have more to spend.
But those aren't the people we are talking about. It's that lower group. The entitlement mentality. People who feel that they are owed more. People who buy things they don't need and can't afford. And that group is growing.

And the 1% does not spend if they have more to spend. They save. You're preaching trickle down economics again and it's been proven time and again not to work.
You're living in this fantasy world where the wealthy are a group of benefactors and employment creators. While the middle class is being squeezed out by a bunch of lazy entitled takers.
Are you actually advocating a lower tax rate for the 1%?
