See thats where I think logic breaks down. Having a more fortunate bracket pay a little bit more isn't such a bad thing to ask. It allows programs, and lower taxes for people who need it more. Lets face it, america has always been very good to it's elite...so why can't they give back? especially when the wealth gap marches on. At the very least you can call it a necessary evil.

Doing the opposite, taxing the the middle class more, so the rich can get historic low tax levels is a complete travesty.

Ill post this again. read it. http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=view&id=3114
