If you want to continue talking about this, try to keep on topic.
So, no. The answer's no.

And the topic is, rich people want to pay more taxes. Got it. No questions. Well not from my point of view. What is the point of this thread? You are being manipulated, and don't know or don't care - either way it is not good.

Why?
How would you become a billionaire with that attitude?
Are you suggesting if you were a millionaire you would not be willing to pay more taxes? Does this imply that others may have a threshold as well? Perhaps, for me when I hit a trillion I would be happy to pay more taxes?
Perhaps, the issue is not paying taxes but in giving money to those who waste it or spending unwisely. Why would anyone want to do that? Would you?
If you had no faith in political leaders, would you give them more of what you worked and sacrificed for? I wouldn't. It is rare to find government bureaucrats who actually understand how to improve the standard of living in a community.
