Bridges in the San Francisco Bay area that are built so well, they don't fall down with people on them.
No people under the bridges, turned out of mental institutions and hungry.
US citizens well educated and able to create entire new industries as in Silicon Valley.
Ability to spend their time as they see fit, instead of using it to feel superior and throwing a pittance at the poor through private charity.
This country was built on solid public infrastructure. Rich people and corporations have milked our resources for their benefit; the least they can do is to provide a solid set of systems for the population.
Tax abatements, forgiveness, etc. for corporations should be canceled altogether, and taxes for the rich should ensure that they can't sell in this country (obtain their wealth) unless they pay their taxes.

If you want a good example of how rich democrats pay their fair share of taxes, take a good look at the tax returns filed by John Kerry and spouse when he was running for Pres. (Mainly spouse. Wish I could make $2+ million and only have a 12% tax rate.)

Self-satisfaction for helping out. Knowing that they are giving to those who are less fortunate? What do rich Republicans give to charity when there is a decrease in taxes?

They don't loose anything. They write enough loopholes in it so that they and their friends don't end up paying any more taxes. The only ones who end up paying more are the upper middle class people who work hard to make a better life for themselves. All of this to give stuff away to people who don't work.

The ability to sleep at night!
The strengthening of our country in the respect that it will help with the enormous budget deficit created by the war in Iraq.
It also is simply the right thing to do.

Knowledge that they are increasing the amount of socialism in this country and hurting the economy! If they've bought into the propoganda of the left-wing mentality, they might feel better...but NOT very likely!
