For the sake of clarity, if you had taxable income of $1,000,000.00 or more, why would you resent the IRS from taking 1% of it ($10,000.00) leaving you with $990,000.00.
You would have to be the greediest pig in the world to not be willing to give up $10,000.00 so that the poorest of your fellow citizens could have food to put on their tables or have affordable health care.

Social Security is not bankrupt. It could be enhanced if high income earners would have to continue paying into it after they have reached the magic number of $106,800. Raise the payroll tax cap for wealthy Americans to $200,000 and stop borrowing money from the Social Security Trust Fund.

The so-called pundits are talking about reforming Medicare by taking away benefits from needy people. If they really want to preserve Medicare, all they would have to do is institute Medicare for all, on a single payer system (as is done with the VA) this would reduce the annual costs of Medicare from $12,000 for each family to $6,000. (More income to Medicare and less doctor bills with a healthier population)

If Republicans would quit repeatedly blocking efforts to create jobs and rebuild our infrastructure, there would be more money circulating and the economy would boom. But Republicans are so bent on getting rid of Obama, they don't care if they are ruining the country. With all the conservative, activist judges in the Judicial system, I predict that the United States will be a Fascist state within five years.
