An interesting way to frame the argument - to say the least. Implied with this his statement, is the idea that if you are wealthy and don't pay higher taxes than those less wealthy is unpatriotic. Any viewpoint that seeks to label any group of people, for the intended purpose of control, is serious manipulation. The sad part of the story is that the view of America, painted by the left, leaves the current generation at odds with loving the country they live in. The picture painted is that America is so corrupt and evil. The message promising change, purports to remedy this evil - by force. If I am a free being, with free choice, and rights therewith, then I am free to choose not to be benevolent. The degree to which I am judged beyond that, places those who judge me in contempt of the social contract which allows me freedoms apart from the imposed chains I disallow.
