I had read a while back that the top 5% pay about 80% of the taxes in this country. To me there was never an illusion that the rich didn't pay more than their fair share. I always assumed they did. That is why when Obama started talking about sharing the wealth it wasn't a shock to me. We have been sharing the wealth via taxes forever, he was just the first person to actually talk about it (albeit he also had other plans so it wasn't just talk, but this idea certainly wasn't new)
