1. The 1% actually rake in a lot of our tax dollars. It's not just that they pay so little in taxes.

Many of them have to be way in the black on our tax dollars. Just about any high paid executive at a corporation that does a lot of business with federal, state and or local government for sure. Just the percentage of their salary, benefits and bonuses financed by tax dollars does it for them. Some it would all be easily covered by the right investments. I can't see why this angle doesn't get pounded! It's almost like the ruling class living off taxing the peasants in the middle ages.
