Your anger is misplaced anon. Do you really think that the truly wealthy are going to pay a single cent more in tax? Notice that they use the phrase "high earners", why is that? Maybe it's because "high earners" are the lowest of the "wealthy" and can easily be brought to heel. The division is real, just not where we expect it.
Full disclosure: My first job was picking strawberries when I came to the USA. The company I worked for considers me a "highly compensated employee". My total assets are less than $500k inc. retirement of fake money. It is me that they will screw, not the truly wealthy. 6 months w/o income, it's back to strawberries for me. That's how they control you.
