Barack Hussein Obama's "tax the rich" rhetoric may sound good to some, but in practice and reality, it just won't work.
There is no way that taxing or overtaxing the rich will help or fix anything. In actuality, the combined wealth of the nation's rich people can't even fix the nation's economic/debt problems, so their taxes certainly can't.
What's really needed is to address the laws that pour so much money into the hands of a few. There needs to be more emphasis on ensuring that small- and medium-level businesses can flourish while allowing the real job creators to grow.
However, the reality is that the largest companies have the ability to control markets, raise a lot of money, influence legislation and elections, and pay huge salaries to CEOs who position them to have such awesome power.
The movers and shakers in our government, past and present, want and need large chunks of the money that is used to buy influence, and therefore, much legislation is done in favor of certain ultra-rich entities.
No matter how you look at it, the money spent on U.S. elections is obscene, and that serves no one except a very few -- a rich few. And yet, unfortunately, the conditions exist for these patterns and policies to continue.
