  As in "punish the active, the successful, the risk-taking"? Society needs them just as it needs toilet cleaners, waiters or factory workers. Actually, more.
  Taxing the rich more would bite the poor back in the end. The rich are the ones who create jobs. If you tax them too much they will outsource your job, or move their business to another country at all.
  Also they are the ones who can afford accounting services that would help them escape paying that tax.

  I say, the lower the tax, the more the tax man gets (within reason, zero tax brings zero tax revenue. 10% is fair.)
  Let people get rich, they spend and reinvest, everyone wins.
