LOL how do you come up with that assumption. What you will have more corporations coming and staying in America. More industries in the manufacturing sector being revived. When there are more jobs, there is more competition to hire employees. The employees get more power to negotiation in effect increasing their salaries. All this equates to a larger middle class.
Protectionism and high taxation decrease the middle class not the other way around.

I will not support any tax plan that doesn't take a majority of its revenue from the most wealthy.

Just curious how old are you. I would bet dollars to donuts you are either highschool or college level. When you get into the real world your views of believing only the wealthy deserve to get taxed will seem ridiculous to you. The biggest problem with communism is that it took away incentive to over-achieve.

The only reason they are wealthy in the first place is because they took that wealth from society.

LOL, you make it seem easy to just get rich. If its so easy why are you not starting the next Walmart or Microsoft. Many wealthy people build up from nothing (such Mitt Romney and Opra), some are given it and make great use with it. Most aren't taking anything, more are earning it.

So it's only right that they should have to give the most back to society.

Only if your a communist. The wealthy give back to us by providing job. I could hate my CEO who reportly made $7 million this year, but instead I respect the guy that gives me a job paying $80K a year!
