A Fox or Two

It seems that envy of the rich, or animosity toward the rich, is such a deeply engrained characteristic in many people's minds that they are not willing to let the rich keep more of their money even if this would mean collecting more government money in taxes and increasing personal freedom in society as a whole. The most important thing is thought to be taking more money from the "wealthy," who presumably are thought to have gotten their money unjustly or are thought not to deserve the money they have earned.
