Look I'm sorry if I'm making 5 million and taxes take out 1/2 so that there will be better schools, healthcare and social programs for the poor then it is my duty. 2.5 million is still a hell of a lot for me to live on. And if I can't live on that then the problem lies within ME not the tax system.

Herein lies the problem. Americans don;t like being told what they need to do. Whether you mean to or not, your argument is that people in upper incomes should stop bitching and pay their taxes dutifully like good little sheep because they have make more then the plumber making 40,000.
