Damn straight. But apparently those that can afford it are almost universally greedy, selfish bastards who resist putting a penny more back into society. At least this is the impression given, and not just in the US.
In Germany a group analysed Germany's economic situation and noted that if the ultra wealthy Germans gave just about 2% of their net worth Germany would pull out of its crisis and the millions unemployed would not be, programs would not need to be reduced etc. etc. I believe the response from the ultra wealthy varied between f*** off, and not our problem. I would be one that if I had that kind of net worth, I wouldn't begrudge paying 6% more. But I would want justice for those that caused the crises through subterfuge, dishonesty and malfeasance. And I would want to make sure it couldn't happen again.
