As a tangental point, I would like to point out that the United States has ~5 trillion in tax revenue annually. From which we spend the most per capita in categories such as education, and healthcare. We are continually rated worst in the developed world in those categories per dollar spent. We don't really need any more tax revenue. There can be an argument for redistributing the tax burden, but it's really a secondary argument to the poor value of our money once it hits the public sector.
