I've heard this argument over and over again. People are always bringing up how the top 1% pay for 37% of taxes, but then they don't realize that the top 1% also own 38% of the wealth. That's just stupid. I'm not saying that the richest 1% are all tax evading criminals (Which I'm sure some of them are). But the fact that 1% owns 38% of the wealth just shows how broken the system is. That said I wouldn't mind being a billionaire. I hate billionaires until I'm a billionaire.All billionaires do philanthropy, on top of paying high taxes to deliver social programs.
