Taxing

So, we just had tax day. In principle, I don't have any problem with paying my fair share. But it bugs me that there are people out there who can easily afford to pay and don't. If this gap between the "haves" and "have-nots" continues to widen, there's gonna be trouble. If you stand on people's necks until they have nothing left to lose they will start to act like it. I believe the French chopped off a bunch of their leader's heads a while back. So, could we straighten things out sooner and peacefully rather than wait for a messy revolution?
