Yes, I do not believe in discriminating against the rich. We (the producers) are the people that create the high standard of living for everyone else (half of the US population is on welfare, and recieves a welfare check called a "tax return" even though they pay no income taxes, since their credits exceed their liabilities). Bill Gates is a perfect example, the man, with help from many others like him, has created tens of thousands of millionaires, and hundreds of thousands of well off affluent families, and revolutionized every business's productivity all over the world with the adoption of desktop computing for the masses. If it weren't for us, the proles would starve to death. I live near Bill, and everyone I know who is rich works for Bill.
So what should we do, raise his taxes? Take all his money when he dies? Well, that would be less money for his philanthropy which is changing the world, instead the government (idiots who could not succeed in the actual business world) would give themeselves a raise, and then decide the best way to spend the rest, rather than the man who created the wealth in the first place.
