How is that different than today? After taxes, it would take the
_entire_ wealth of someone like Bill Gates to keep Obama in debt spend
for just one week.

right now at least they pay 15%. the middle class pays about double
that.

That is more like 20-22% top line to bottom line, less if you have a
big mortgage. I agree rich people could pay more on cap gains but they
do end up paying most of the taxes now.

that's because their income went up 300% iin the last 25 years. middle
class incomes went up about 20%
