Very appropriate title, the wealthy have been subjected to severe punishment since the 1980's.

Pretend you are that most improbable of combinations — a lovable billionaire. In other words, you’re Warren Buffett. The politicians who worship guys like you have another treat in store: They will cut your most recent tax bill by $679,999, making you even wealthier.
But it comes with a price. A fellow American of a certain age making $56,000 a year would have to pay three times more in annual health care premiums — $20,500 — to help finance your windfall. You don’t need the money. Cripes, you’re worth $76 billion! But that other citizen can’t live without health care.
.......
No surprise, the real Warren Buffett wants nothing to do with it. He calls it, the “Relief for the Rich Act.”
