Gunnison, this is a very fine post!  Our society is much less egalitarian than our Founding Fathers wanted.  When those with capital make so much more than those without.  
We might start by admitting in our Constitution that all income is income, no matter its source (sweat, crime, luck, coupons, creativity, etc.) and no matter whether the income belongs to a real person or a juridical person.  That way our income tax regime would foster and egalitarian society rather than the elitist society that has been abnormally growing for at least forty-five years.
