revolution time?

Why can’t the rich pay more taxes.
Maybe its because they want their money to go to their schools. Like the beautiful private school Francis Parker, with it’s wonderful new campus, with everything that makes learning fun, exciting, and valuable. Computers, math labs, science labs, art classes, even an art gallery.


Why can’t they support public schools, like Cherokee Point which also has  a newly built campus, but lacks much of what the private school has.


The rich have their money to go where it directly benefits them while the rest of society can continue a downward cycle of being under educated, thereby disadvantaged, thereby having to work for minimum wage for the rich.
Why are the rich so selfish. Is it fear that they will not have, that they will go without?
There is no trickle down, nothing trickles down except more poverty.

From the Washington Post 12/17/10:
The bill that Obama signed Friday comes at a cost. It virtually guarantees that he will not fulfill during his first term one of the major promises of his 2008 campaign, which was to roll back the income tax rates for the wealthiest Americans. That rankles many liberal activists in theDemocratic Party who believe Obama should have fought harder before yielding on that issue. the article
