The wealthy will NEVER agree to higher taxes.

The only way to make them have to pay higher taxes is for the Democratic Party to pick up enough House seats this November to re-take control of the House of Representatives, and pick up 4 or 5 Senate seats as well.....no mean feat..but entirely possible, IMO.
