Find a way to make all the people at the lower end of the economic spectrum as successful as "those greedy rich people" and you will have more tax money than you could ever imagine. Why penalize success? Don't we want everyone to be successful? If you make a useful contribution to the economy others will demand what ever it is you do and everybody pays taxes as a result. No... I didn't just say cut off the needy.
