This is really, really, really a problem. I know a lot of us make decent money and we write large "checks" to the government because we're in high tax brackets, but seriously. The middle class has gotten smaller. If you live in a city a house costs a million dollars. Many people don't have adequate healthcare. Yet we are allowing the richest people in the world to have astronomical profits and pay no tax to help cover the costs of society, while we squeeze the "working rich" (high earners that don't get most of their income from dividends/capital gains) and working class .

Now, maybe if you are making 300+ you don't feel squeezed. But in all fairness, not that many people make $300k.
