1) the rich (top 10%) pay almost 70% of taxes. I wouldn't call that "so little" 2) you can't just take property from people based on a such wildly misused and subjective term as "fairness".

The rich have the resources to fund a big chunk of the government, and they get a lot out of it too, sometimes to our detriment. 3) what does our deficit have to do with protest and riots in other countries?
