Thinking about it that makes perfect sense birds of a feather.

The problem with this country is not the rich we need more of them. Who else has the dough to buy the over priced goods and services, that your company may be providing.

The problem is spending money we do not have, and not holding folks accountable.
Paddy was standing as a candidate for Mayor of his village.

"It's the rich that are the problem, they suck us poor working people dry. Elect me Mayor and I'll force a more equitable distribution of wealth by taxing the rich more and more until they're brought to our level."
A heckler in the crowd shouted: "If you had two houses Paddy; would you give me one?"
"For sure I would," said Paddy.
"And if you had two horses would you give me one?"
"For sure I would," was the response.
"And if you had two pigs would you give me one?"

"P##s off; ya know I have two pigs!"

Taxing the rich is not the answer, I don't know what it's like in your country; but in our country the vast majority of the truly wealthy people I know have made their wealth for and by themselves.
They made it because they worked both harder and smarter than their contempories.
They've earned it...mainly through sustained application over a long period of time, attention to detail, and lateral thinking.

And yes; they've created jobs along the way.
