Gee, maybe by allowing the people who create wealth (for everyone) the financial ability to create more wealth, instead of taking away from that ability?? But that actually makes sense as opposed to taking money from them with no long term benefit leading to lowered competetiveness, fewer jobs and and overall worse economy. Pretty basic commonsense kind of stuff for those of us who actually take the time to rationally think things through.
