When is it a crime to make and have money?

All this talk about increasing corporate tax and taxes on the higher income people has made me wonder and ask the question -

When is it a crime to make money let alone have a lot of it?

The last time I checked, this nation was partly founded upon principles of individualism and the ability of one to "reach for the skies."

One's ability to make money and a lot of it is the very essence for which this country was founded, even that of individualism. Why would anyone allow someone who promises to crack down on corporate profits and increase taxes for the higher income people be voted into office??? Any logical thinking person would understand this way of thinking to be hypocritical.

It is absolutely absurd and unAmerican to tax more of those who make a lot of money due to that very fact. Then again, I am one of a few who still believes in the very reason for America's existence. Do you?
