The problem doesn't seem to be taxes, but division of profits. Almost none of the gains seen by the 1% would have happened at all if the bottom 50% hadn't produced them.
No one person "earns" 10M or 100M per year. No one's 24/365 is that productive. It's done by keeping a larger share of the pie than the people who do the actual production.
Start with the (IMO) problem, not the side-show. I really don't care how much my CEO is taxed. I just want a fair share of gains.
