concentrating wealth in the hands of a small minority is not a principle of socialism, never has been. not sure where you got you info, but that is the opposite of socialism.

The blame lies with the government. These uber wealthy are not breaking any laws..if anything they are following the laws.
The government creates the tax laws don't they ?
The government creates these loopholes don't they ?
Who votes these people into the government to make these laws ?
if this country imposed a sales tax on goods, you don't think the uber wealthy wouldn't make their purchases in duty free countries and thru black markets or thru manipulated paperwork? the wealthy always have their ways to avoid taxes, "only the little people pay taxes, WE don't pay taxes " Leona Helmsley

We've been Robbed (http://www.newdeal20.org/2011/04/25/we%E2%80%99re-not-broke-we%E2%80%99ve-been-robbed-42676/ - broken link)
While the income of the richest 400 Americans quadrupled — they now have more wealth than the 155 million Americans on the other end — their effective tax rates were cut almost in half.
Yes but Americans would rather worry about who is getting Food Stamps.
Why worry about the top 1% having half the wealth when you can blame your misfortune on Police, Firemen and Teachers

The top one percent pay 38% of all the payroll taxes, and I bet they also are 90% of the private sector bosses who pay everyone's paychecks.
Keep attacking the productive among us and see how long there will be anything to tax, they will shut their businesses down and go home.
Why take all the stress of employees, lawsuits, taxes, and bad business laws when you can go home and retire?

So you take some quote as fact ?
You don't like what's going on..complain to the IRS.
