Complaining about the rich accomplishes nothing.
The rich pay more taxes year than most pay their whole lives. They fund the nation. In contrast, those who are merely average in America don't even pull their own weight. The rich carry them every year in taxes.
That is a fact.
Now, crying because the rich fellows percentage is lower than yours is silly. He needs that extra money to make more money, and keep jobs and pay competitive, as well to research and develop new ideas, services, and products. The percentage he does pay is irrelevant, because as his business expands, he will make up for the cut as his profits increase.
It is the laborer who has driven his own job out of this country. 1300 dollars a car from GM for health insurance. Unions with increasingly assinine demands. At some point people need to stop and realize what they are asking in return for their unskilled labor. Maby then they will realize why their jobs have been moved to Mexico.
Small business owners do need a little more of a break, though, and I hope they get it, I also hope, though, that they realize how this country runs.
