Tax wealthy more until U.S. out of debt

Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., was on “Meet the Press” on April 10 and said the United States has to cut back on social programs, at least until the country is out of debt. Well, I'm saying the United States should tax the wealthy more, at least until the country is out of debt!
Why are the wealthy so greedy that they have to have their multiple possessions, plus get personal tax breaks?
And don't give me that malarky about “only the wealthy can make jobs!” The wealthy have had their Bush tax cuts for 10 years now and where are the jobs?
