got that way on the backs of their workers and by screwing over other business partners. If their success is equally distributed among those that got them their millions, that's one thing. But that's rarely the case. At the very least, they need to pay the same 30% of their income in taxes as the rest of us do.

There's a reason why millionaires run for congress, and it isn't for the lower 6-figure paycheck. That's pocket change to them. They are simply cutting out the middleman and directly legislating conditions that contribute to the redistribution of wealth from the poor and middle class to themselves.
