Taxing rich people more does not raise anybody's wages.

Quite the contrary, in fact.
Since rich people are generally the owners of businesses, taxing them more will often lead to them cutting their employees' hours, pay, and ultimately jobs in order to lessen how much of a hit they take financially and keep their businesses in the black.

Taxing individual income of billionaires is different than taxing corporations they own or have major shares in.

First off, that wealth is NOT cash in their damn bank accounts, but stock holdings, and second off, if they were forced to sell all to get taxed in the way these idiots want them to, those stocks would fkn CRASH.

When Obozo, preezy Shit Midas, was told that raising taxes would bring in less tax dollars he said "It's not about bringing in in more money. It's about "fairness." IOW, punishing the achievers and society in general.
