Why don't you give answering the question a shot.

Right, all I did was ask a few simple questions. Immediately you think I am up to something, yet when "rich" people, people who know how to exploit the system to get and stay "rich", come out in unison with well publicized plan to help the little people, do what they do, you buy into it with out any question! I find that amazing.

And I will in the future, every-time this comes up until people start to acknowledge that generally "rich" people don't do anything randomly, without a plan or agenda.

The group of rich Germans pushing for this wealth tax numbers about 44. According to the man behind the petition, there are "2.2 million people in Germany with a fortune of more than 500,000 euros." Even after a little quick math, this suggests that there are more than 2 million wealthy Germans who may or may not agree (or even know about) this wealth tax proposal.

Is your point that this person and this group is more interested in raising the taxes of others, and less interested in individually wanting to do more?
In a selfish way, I can support you being taxed more. If I had the opportunity to influence tax policy, I can support a system that benefits me at your expense. If I felt the whole of what I have is at risk, I can support giving a little piece of the whole as a temporary diversion, with the intent of getting that piece back plus a nice return on investment.
"Rich" people got "rich" for a reason, trust them at your own peril. I suggest one always keep their eyes open and their hands on their wallets when "rich" people start talking about giving away more of their money.
