They wouldn't have the money if it weren't for the historic and current sacrifices made on a daily basis by the average American.
If punching a clock 40 hours a week for overinflated union wages is your idea of sacrifice, it must be a nice life you lead.

Sacrifice is putting your life savings on the line, plus taking on a massive pile of debt, to start a new business and putting in 80 hour weeks with no guarantee of return, in the hope that you will succeed and build a better life for yourself.

And how is this sacrifice that drives the lion's share of the US economy repaid? By people who just want to take someone else's hard-earned money that they don't deserve, either because they don't understand economics, they're lazy, or they presume themselves to be educated after swallowing the white-tower crackpot theories of a bunch of academics cowering on college campuses where they don't have to compete or see their flimsy left-wing theories fall apart at the first touch of reality.

Look:

Lower tax rate = more money spent on new business opportunities that would otherwise not draw investment = increased economic growth = high tax revenues! That's the way the real world works. It's that simple.
