'What are the mental hyjinx you have to get up to in order to believe that you should take someone else's money and give it to other people?'
Its very simple and well established economic logic at least since Adam Smith- here it is since you seem to have missed it- wealthy people have generally benefited more from the economic opportunities that collective human organised groups (nation states) render to their citizens.
It is entirely rational to redistribute wealth from the most wealthy to the least as it both stimulates consumption and increases the overall well being of the populace.
The wealth and income distribution in the USA today is huge and creates significant economic and social tension- wealth redistribution is a logical response.
I am relatively wealthy but recognise that the taxes I pay play a part in maintaining a civil society and funding the infrastructure and governance that makes life worthwhile and supports my wealth and security, and that of other citizens.
The neoliberal nonsense that you may have been breastfed on has perhaps clouded your judgement - humans work best in groups and taxes are an important part of the way of maximising the potential of human groups.
