I don't think most Tories think about how can we screw the poor and help the rich.  Maybe they don't go after those at the top as hard as some like, but soak the rich policies while they may feel good, just end up causing more harm when they drive away business.  Some like Rick Peterson's tax policies were examples of sops to the rich, but he went nowhere.  Having a top marginal tax rate below 50% and close to the G7 average is hardly radical, which is what most Tory candidates favour.  Having a flat tax and one of the lowest in the OECD like Peterson favoured is, but he got less than 1%.
