That's the part that frustrates me when talking listening to people talking about taxing "the rich". They don't get it. They tax increases really only affect their neighbors. People they see on a daily basis, people who dwell in the cellar, people who work hard for a living... people who don't pay attorneys and accountants tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to take care of the issue. For every rich tax and redistribute plan created there is a new trust or entity created to beat that tax for the truly wealthy. The truly wealthy pay an astronomical sum in terms of dollars, but little in actual percentage because they have attorneys to take care of that. Bill down the street who busted his ass to build a successful small business and has finally cracked into six figures is the one who gets screwed so someone can feel good about taxing the rich.
