Severely penalizing the rich and the super rich (ie. the idiotic proposed 90% tax) and milking the upper middle class and middle class with proportionately heavy taxes IMO discourages a capitalistic mentality and pushes us toward a socialistic mindset. The vast majority of Americans do not want this. I think cities and state municipalities can do a better job of allocating their taxes (see conversation above) toward social programs and creating opportunities for the lower class if that's what their people want. ie. $100M would go a lot further toward helping "the poor" of ATL vs. a bridge that's going to collect dust.
Blindly taxing anyone who is successful just puts more money into federal coffers, and the fed has mostly proven that they can't handle programs of mass charity (IMO)
