Before Jack Kemp schooled Reagan on Reaganomics, the tax rate for the rich was 70%...now the rich, who after the Bush tax cuts experienced an enormous transfer of wealth, AGAIN, are crying about their taxes being increased by 3.5%? Please....if CEO's took less money and distributed that wealth among it's employees we'd all be better off...everyone would be a little happier and we'd actually have a little extra money to spend!!!

And, why do so many rich people live in New York City which has the highest taxes of all? Which states have the most wealthy people. Maybe that will show us where the wealthy prefer to live.

I would like to think that if I were rich, I would stick around despite high taxes because I know that my taxes are being used for good things. Unfortunately the American mindset is so against taxes that we will spend more money trying to get away from them than would actually have been paid in the first place. Sad, but true and logical.
