Class warfare

We are seeing a new tactic by this Administration, it is a form of class warfare. They are demonizing the rich and successful citizens, saying they need to be taxed more. The thing is that these (so called rich) people pay most of the tax revenue. This is not a new idea it has been practiced as far back as the Romans, look were they ended up! It is also practiced by socialist and communist governments. They do this to keep there citizens in a suppressed type of status and controlling who succeeds. Islam recognizes this as one of their pillars of teaching, they adjust the tax of the rich so the poor can live better.
     When you increase the taxes of the successful class of society you breed anger and resentment towards the lower income people and the government. Governments do this to make income or standards of living equal, but what they really do is stop progression and creativity. They invoke the thought of "why should try, when I get paid the same as the rest or if I succeed they will take more money". It also tells people that its OK to abuse government programs and they (government) will take care of me at the cost of other peoples hard work.
     The government doesn't need to increase taxes, but to decrease the spending of other peoples money. They also need to enforce the payment of taxes by those that don't and stop tax breaks for big corporations. This would increase revenue dramatically.
     What is the motivation for people to hire new employees or wanting to make other's succeed. We are heading down a road that other countries have failed at or are continuing to fail at!
