Republicans love Reagan's trickle down economics, well doesn't taxing the rich do the exact same thing but in a stream lined more efficient way so that the money gets to the people that need it? as philanthropy becomes cool again, the mega-rich will have no other choice but to donate to the poor.

I hope you are being sarcastic. Punish the successful more?! If the successful pay more taxes, then they are still ahead of many other people. People only need so much money to live.

B/c wealthy people invest money and just pay 15% cap gains taxes. Lower income people buy cigarettes and IPhones! I see that as smart!

He pays less tax because his "income" falls under long term capital gains tax, which is significantly lower than normal income tax rates. Now you can respond and explain the flaws in your comment.
