The less money the government allows me to have, the less freedom I have in choosing how I wish to change the world with the fruits of my labor.

As opposed to taking the money from the ignorant masses who aren't rich and are simply there to work in the factories and do the heavy lifting? Maybe you will do great things with your fortune, maybe you won't, but it seems to me that the vast majority of people who grow wealthy don't. What do you have to say for the rest of the people who are in the higher tax brackets? Nobody likes getting money taken away, and maybe this sounds bad from a financial standpoint, but better the top 5% than the 95%. As i've said before and i'll say it again, if they don't want to deal with the taxes and be rich/create businesses more and bring themselves down to a lower tax bracket, i'll be happy to take their place.
