We do thank the rich. No one is disputing their contributions, except you, Kevin Ross. We also scoff and criticize when they, the rich, try to avoid paying what they are meant to pay.
Consider, Warren Buffett, the third-richest man in the world, who pays a lower tax rate than his secretary. He criticizes the US tax system for this inequity of loopholes that the poor often can't take part of.
You want a disasterous Flat-tax, that is ultimately the opposite of the progressive tax-rate increases the USA has now. Flat-taxes creates a regressive system that punishes the poor instead of the rich.
If you were the government, and you had to take some money in order to ensure property rights and safet...Kevin Ross, you're telling me you'd make the poor pay out the ass, while the Rich pay what they make in a day?
