Ryan - FYI, accumulated "wealth" has already gone thru the tax machine and then gets taxed again by "gift/inheritance tax" when it exceeds $1M (the evil rich).  Capital gains tax rates are available to everyone, especially via mutual funds.  And the bottom 50% of American households (the "poor") not only pay ZERO federal income tax, but have refundable tax credits available to cover their payroll taxes and more... up to $9K+ in CASH for households with three children.

And in California, the top 1% pay 45% of the state's income taxes.  Nationally, the top 10% pays 70% of federal income taxes.  

Peddle your baloney at the Saturday Market.... we know better around here.  So does God.
