I don't have any problem with increasing taxes on the wealthy, but I'm not naive enough to think it's going to equal more money in my pocket. The wealthy make their money by selling goods or services to the less than wealthy. Increase taxes on them and they just pass the increase on to us in the form of higher prices. Having them pay higher taxes just turns them into de facto tax collectors for the rest of us.
