This is a tough dilemma. The wealthy (I am one of them) of course think they deserve their wealth (I know how hard I work, and how my choices/risk-taking differ from others). 

But this growing income inequality is troubling. It is the root (more or less) of all crime. And socities with high crime rates suck, for the rich as well. I know becuase I lived in South Africa for a while 15 years ago.

What to do? As I approach my fourth decade, I'm more and more inclined to view higher taxes as a boon to society.
