Tax the rich MORE, just like Ike did

It's that time of year again, so I just want to say.... I oppose the "Tea Party's" mindless, destructive, unconditional opposition to the idea of paying one's fair share - and yes, that includes paying one's taxes. This is particularly true for the rich, who should actually pay far MORE taxes than they have been, especially since the bad old days of the Reagan administration. In terms of practice, how many adherents to the Tea Party's extreme "Free Market" ideology drive exclusively on their own private highways? Or walk exclusively on their own private sidewalks? Among city-dwelling Tea Partiers, how many exclusively use their own private sewage treatment facilities? Fanatical dedication to a hypothetical utopia based on an economic model of near-total private enterprise just isn't a realistic option in an age of complex, "advanced" societies. And the US is (at least arguably) an "advanced" society. Despite all the exagerrated "individualistic" rhetoric that gets thrown around at Tea Party rallies, we ultimately do depend on one another in many ways. An old-school Republican like Dwight Eisenhower would be appalled by the idea that the rich should pay even less, as the Tea Party's filthy-rich benefactors would prefer. Under Ike, top marginal income tax rates in the USA were above ninety percent. Yes, the tax code should be made more fair, more progressive. Let's tax the rich till it hurts them right in their bloated offshore accounts.
