Since the top 1% continue to accumulate a vast percent of the wealth, they are the best ones to tax to support the rest. It is unfortunately that things are so unbalanced that the poor don't have much to tax. We could choose to do nothing about it and let the rich keep more of the money. Eventually it will result in more of the poor and average people falling behind. Where will Walmart gets their billions when none of their workers and customers have money to spend? At the worst the whole economy will stagnate or people will revolt. The super rich could afford to take and "us vs them" mentality and bunker down somewhere safe.
