26. False premise - our taxes are LOWER than other industrial countries.
>Taxing on wealth is okay, if the rich are okay with it, if not you will find an exodus of rich people.

Oh, yes. They're right on the EDGE! Jeeves! Pack the bags! We're moving to anywhere else, because US taxes are the HIGHEST!
