Why are people so afraid of taxing the rich?

I wonder if all college students are as dumb as you? The rich aren't fleecing this country, they already pay close to half their income in taxes, and carry almost the entire tax burden. You of course are probably completely unaware that most working cl families receive almost all of their taxes back at the end of the year. You also seem to be oblivious to the fact that only the rich employ people, and if we take all their money and give it to you, no one can afford to hire anyone. Maybe it's time the poor start paying their fair share of taxes and quit whining for more welfare handouts.
