What are your thoughts on taxing the wealthy more than the middle class?

I think it's a good idea because wealthy people are  a lot more wealthy than middle class. We're talking about millionaires.

Yes, they have earned more more money but in part because of their extensive work and education. I have mixed feelings about this. I don't think they should be penalized for hard work.

I don't know, but I'm glad the decision on such things is not up to me. Income inequality has fluctuated considerably since 1915. In the years 1950-1980 it was a little lower but now it's probably the highest it's been.

I completely can see the disparity in incomes in America. I just have mixed feelings about whether or not those who have worked hard should be penalized. It doesn't seem fair.

Yes, tax policy and economic inequality in the US is a huge topic, tax policy affects the distribution of wealth a lot.
