If those who are making the money are not properly compensating those who are helping to make it for them...you have problems.

I don't disagree with your basic premise, but in the last sentance you describe what I believe to be the mindset of those who think the top 5% should burden the pain of tax. Now mind you, if you are in the top 5% you should do your part, but lets be clear, it is not the top 5% that are the problem among the rich. Let's narrow that to the top 0.5% the uber rich. These are the people who have less tax to pay. The Warren Buffets and Bill Gates. They are not much different than the problem with Corprate Tax breaks. What Obama and Biden have done is they have polarized the tax payers into two groups and are trying to tell the lower 95% that the problem is with the 5% and that is patently false.
