You forgot to mention the $10 trillion debt that Lord Zero ran up.
If they do enact a tax, everyone will get hit by it, not just the "rich". Any tax will hurt the "working man" regardless of why it was formed and who it was originally aimed at.
The problem with a tax like that would be the standards of such legislation. If you allow them to tax someone who makes a certain amount of money, it will be a matter of time before they start taxing you because you are making a couple more bucks than your neighbor. If you give them an inch, they'll take a mile.
