The rich typically make donations and support charity far more than any normal person could. How is 90% taxation "sharing", sounds more like "give me all your money or you go to jail", followed by "now I get to spend it however I want". Show me the huge/efficient benefits that have been gained by the huge government expenditures. We're $20T in the hole, has it really benefited people that much. Real wages stagnant for 20 years, household debt at all-time-high, costs at all time high. If you're going to be "robin hood", at least demonstrate that its helping (seems more like US politicians giving it all to their band of merry men).
