No, because if you work for it then you deserve wealth.

Extremely wealthy is the phrase used. You can still be semi-upper class, but no billionaires, no yachts the size of a football field, and no buying up neighborhoods.

Throughout history those luxury products that only the mega-rich have had have gradually come down to the middle class. For example, in colonial days, at the dawn of the free market in America, houses were on averaged 200 square foot blocks of logs with no windows. Now having a 1500 sq foot house with windows, air-conditioning, heating, and two cars is considered pretty normal for middle class Americans.

If you tax the rich, who already have a ludicrous 37 percent of their income stolen from them, you are literally draining billions from the economy that could have been otherwise spent innovating and putting people to work, thus not only hurting the rich, but hurting the labourers who would otherwise have been hired, or otherwise gotten raises, or otherwise paid lower prices for any number of goods and services. Do not expect to raise up the poor by tearing down the rich – in reality, they are tied together, and if you shove one down, the other will not be raised up.
