One of the greatest lies perpetuated in America is that billionaires should pay less taxes than the average person because one day, you too could be a billionaire, and you wouldn't want to become less of a billionaire because of taxes.

One of the greatest lies perpetuated in America is that people's objection to things like a wealth tax is based on a belief they could one day be billionaire's. It isn't. See Davidu's comment.

There are better ways to do what the wealth tax candidates want but they aren't imaginative enough for that task.
