You are not asking right question. Have you ever considered why so few people are 'well off' these days and why every 'working stiff' can afford less than their parents and grandparents? Why families now have to have two incomes just to keep at the same level what 40 years ago took one? What we want is more well-to-do people, and one way to do it is to make it harder to accumulate more wealth by simply being wealthy in a first place.



I linked this graph many times, but somehow it end up ignored. This graph goes directly to the root of the problem. What it shows is that as of 2007 top 10% take more income home than entire bottom 90%. You can also look at this following way - bottom 90% families now earn less than ever before, and are poorer because of it.
