I think Dog hit the nail on the head.  Friedrich A. Hayekality would be destructive of free society does not seem like a valid point to me. Sure the rich might be taxed as much if not more of the same percentages as the middle and lower class, but with all of the money that the richest 1% has to spend, I don't think those taxes will have much of an effect on their daily lives.

I personally think it seems kind of like Communism. Your taking money from
the rich and giving it to the poor, and won't everyone eventually reach an
equal value?

I think that even the richest person should be taxed the same percentage as
eveyone else, not greater.In my opinion, they earned the money and should be
able to do whatever they want with it. more...

In my own opinion, i think that the rich should be charged with a higher
percentage of taxes. Yes, they did earn the money, but who really does need
50 billion dollars? Some of it is donated to more...

I think that the rich should be taxed more. They do not need billions of

the wall street executives should be taxed higher than lets say, a
teacher. (sorry mr levine, but lets face it, your profession is on the
opposite end of the spectrum.) the economy is getting better more...

I don't believe that the wealthier Americans should be more heavily
taxed just based upon the fact that they earn what they earn. The
wealth gap causes greater competition and in my opinion an more...

I do think that they should be more heavily taxed. The millions they're
making (not to mention their bonuses they give themselves) aren't needed so
