ok then but maybe we should have the top 1% live as the bottom 20% for like a week so they can see what its like before they deceide on how much taxes they want to pay?
that's really stupid. lots of people in the top one percent are the sons or daughters or grand kids of such people and being in the bottom 20% is what motivated them to get their butts in gear and make something of themselves.
Your point has no relevance to Jamesrage's sound argument. besides, taxing the rich more does little if anything to help the bottom 20% and some would argue convincingly that dependency is the biggest enemy of the bottom 20%, not tax cuts for the rich or less handouts to the poor
