Mikado:
It's not about "sharing the wealth." Your money doesn't just go into the pockets of those less wealthy than yourself. You pay for more of the roads, the schools, etc. You shoulder more of the burden because you can afford it; it's your patriotic duty. I assume, you being in the top 1%, that you're not in the armed forces or a teacher or some other sort of public servant -- if you care about this country and want it to succeed, that's your contribution. You giving to charities may help your upper-class guilt, but it doesn't keep the trains running on time.
