And how the rich keep poor quiet ? sell them hope or American dream. 
The rich are waging class warfare on the poor

The premise should be, why have the rich gotten richer while everyone else stagnates. Many reasons for this. The obvious reasons are the stock market, outsourcing, skills, government influence to make laws that would benefit them, etc....
joneog, at first your argument sounds logical. The rich pay alot more taxes than the poor.
but you have to delve deeper than that.
let start with a hypothesis: the rich wage class warfare on the poor
corollary: the rich steal income from the poor
deduction: this income is used to pay taxes
conclusion: the rich steal income and use it to pay taxes
I hope you're still with me. I have logically proven that your argument is superceded by mine. While your argument is at a molecular level, my argument is at an atomic or even quark level, and provides a deeper understanding of the issue.
The rich steal income from the poor, thus paying more taxes, getting recognition and pride from paying more taxes, all the while obfuscating the fact that they've stolen these taxes, a.k.a. income, from the poor people in the first place.
The poor demand their income back and the right to pay taxes.
I moved to NY in March. Where I live there are some public Proyects Building near. They must have like 200 families living in those proyects. And I can see every single morning Tons of Young and healthy Blacks and puerto ricans doing nothing but dancing salsa and playing dominoes on the street. None of them want or need a job and almost all of them take money from the welfare. Some even exchange the welfare debit card for cash at the local store.
so who are stealing who?.
Sorry for My english, im from europe.

Not sure if you're joking or not but here goes:
since it's clear that the "rich" (i.e. bastards making over $115k) pay income tax, your little argument can be re-worded:
the rich steal from the poor, therefore
the rich steal from the poor
First you need to explain how the 14 million people earning over $115k (or any subset of that group, save the aforementioned plutocrats) are stealing from the rest.
Is this some type of vast conspiracy? Are there meetings I don't know about? Any techniques some of you rich bastards would like to share?
This is where revolutions come from.
When a country has it for too good, for too long, the elites tend to forget that social programs and a bit of income redistribution is a hell of a lot cheaper than angry mobs in the street.
Safer, too.
Then blood gets spilled, everyone chills out, and the cycle begins again.
