need to pay more in taxes. After all, they have benefitted the most from the current corporate climate, often on the backs of those less fortunate than themselves. (Like the CEO who rakes in an extra million while laying off 500 employees). Or the Vice-President whose company lands a lucrative contract rebuilding Iraq while, at the same time, benefits to those Americans required to fight in Iraq are cut. Unfortunately, the 1% of the wealthiest Americans who would be taxed are the same ones who make tax laws.
