>"some millionaires actually do want to be taxed more, for the greater good of society?" I'm sure there is actually a population of millionaires out there who want this. That being said, I suspect this is a small subset of millionaires and billionaires as a whole. It seems like the substantially wealthy who want to help the greater good turn towards philanthropy rather than donating money to the government. If you had significant wealth, wouldn't you rather donate it directly to the causes you care about? >"I’m serious. How are you so cynical." In just about every other situation, people distrust the 1% and assume they are conniving, ruthless, and up to no good. Am I suddenly to believe they have had a change of heart and are wholeheartedly endorsing something so progressive?
