It's simply not possible to fund a robust liberal agenda purely by taxing the top 1 percent. The top 10 percent and, yes, the top 15 percent are going to need to pay, too. We can -- and should -- help the upper middle class by fixing the health-care system and continuing to guarantee a secure retirement. But there's only so much self-pity on the part of the nearly-elite that liberals can afford to indulge.
There you have it, all laid out. We've got an agenda and the rich have the money to pay for it. It's just that simple.

Makes me recall bank-robber Willie Sutton's quote when asked why he robbed banks -- "Because that's where the money is."
