'Tax the Rich' Gets the Nod From the Wealthy

3. It's not really about protecting the rich (or anyone) from taxes.

It's about starving the beast. If government is starved, it allows others (churches/media/corporations) to sieze social control.

The fact that people want/expect/acknowledge the need for higher taxes is really inconvenient but not relevant.
