TL;DR: there aren’t that many rich, but the ones who are rich have accountants and tax lawyers who can rearrange their affairs to avoid taxes. Middle class people don’t have those resources, and end up taking it in the shorts.

well considering that the richest minority of people are still paying the majority of tax money, we probably shouldn't be increasing taxes on them at all. Maybe if we lowered taxes across the board for anyone who is currently paying more than 15%, there would be less anxiety over starting a new, potentially lucrative, project.
