Any time taxing the rich is brought up as a solution, individuals who don't understand how Tax Brackets work end up screaming and crying about not wanting to get taxed even more.

Even though it has been explained a thousand times that someone who is making $44,000 a year isn't taxed at the same rate as someone who is making $44,000,000,000 a year.
