I honestly think that the government needs to take more responsibility in 'watching' the rich. The rich are generally people who are owners/CEO's of huge companies- and how many stories have we heard lately of fraud, infringement and other financial felonies of the heads of these huge corporations? They shouldn't be getting away with this...then they wouldn't find themselves in bankruptcy and having the government bail them out for their mistakes. That's step 1.
Step 2- "With great power comes great responsibility."- famous Spiderman quote. But it needs to be enforced in America. Which means for those with financial power- more taxes, more regulations they have to meet, less wiggle in the rope for them.
Step 3- Balance it out. There IS a way. It would not be to where the rich are getting away with paying the same, if not less. Fixed Tax is a thought- but it should be based on income. Legitimate income.

I am extremely pro-rich. I can't think of any real reason why someone wouldn't be pro-rich. What could be better than having a lot of spending cash to blow on stuff you want, and provide for your family after you're gone? Everyone who has a lot of money today has it for a reason. What I am not, is pro-theft.

A lot of people who ARE rich are greedy and have if not are currently breaking a law because of their greed.
There is a HUGE difference in being rich and being financially secure. I would never want to be rich. It only buries what is most valuable in life and you lose sight of what's important. I just want to be financially secure and content. Being able to comfortably pay my bills on time, live in a decent, normal-sized house that I don't get lost in, and be able to support my family just fine. The main thing is to be doing a living that is something you love. And to be happy with your family. That's being rich, to me.
