And that is what I keep trying to explain to liberals and progressives. The high tax rate is not to tax the wealthy but to reduce competition at the top by making it more difficult to get there.
From the original link, 8 out of the 10 wealthiest people in Congress are Democrats. The party that says, "Tax the rich." Talk about irony.

Everything Democrats say is ironic. They never mean what it seems like they are saying.
They say that their education policy is for the kids or the teachers but every study shows that education is suffering with every change and the teachers are complaining and the unions are getting richer.
I used to be a Democrat until I realized that their words and their policies never seem to line up.

Tax the rich??? Sounds like a rallying cry for the Democratic strategy to hurt Romney by creating and supporting Occupy Wall Street!
In the real world, the top 1% pay over 90% of all federal income taxes. http://taxfoundation.org/blog/top-1-percent-pays-more-taxes-bottom-90-percent
In the real world, "Counting transfer payments such as foods stamps, Medicaid, Medicare, and other government welfare, Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analysis shows the top 40% pay 106% of all taxes (more than all of them). In turn the bottom 60% get money back." http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/12/rich-dont-pay-taxes-pay/
That's part of the reason we need the FairTax so everybody has "skin in the game", and the lower income crowd, moochers, and parasites can't continue using income taxes to steal from producers.

Abraham Lincoln on liberty
The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty, and the American people, just now, are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other mens labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same nameliberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible namesliberty and tyranny.
