Eat the Rich?

Why are people completely unable to make an argument against raising taxes?

The only defense seems to be offered for not raising taxes on the wealthy is that the wealthy create jobs and if you tax them they won't create as many jobs. That seems to imply that the wealthy have a duty to hire people. And the more of their money they get to keep, the more people they need to hire. If that is true, than government has defined what they can do with their money, and it's not theirs anyway. That is essentially government control over the means of production, which is socialism.

How about this simple argument: It is wrong to take their money...because it is THEIRS!

Somebody make that argument and I'll vote for you.
