assholes who are rich will become the most powerful because the decent rich will give a certain percentage to charity. In essence being a good person and feeling connected to the greater world around one and giving away your fortune will put the assholes at an advantage. They will end up with vastly more money. They will be all powerfull. They will make the laws in their asshole image. WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT WE ARE ALREADY THERE!

The only way for the good to compete with that power is to either stop giving money away, which would mean an even worse dystopia, or to tax both the good rich and the asshole rich alike. Otherwise, in a few generations we will be ruled by nasty royalty instead of by the majority made up of the middle class (a large and robust middle class at that) & the poor aswell as the rich.

1. If taxes go down on the rich then it will rise on the backs of working Americans

because the whole idea is to make us pay for the government they profit and benefit from while redistributing the rest of our tax dollars, in the form of grants, tax cuts, and "gov't funding" {think Bain that uses a LOT of Federal dollars - taxpayer dollars - for their pet projects like the Olympics where they can keep the profits} to the millionaires and billionaires and multinational corporations who are the true welfare queens in this nation.

2. That too. I only meant to point out

that people like the koch brothers will beat out the Warren Buffets unless we force both to give a certain amount of their income to the greater good in the form of taxes. It will happen. It will be the least benevolent who rule and have all the power.
