the tax rate on rich people would be a nonissue if the government could control its appetite for spending.

The truth is, the poor & the unemployed are bottomless money pits. The government could take over the entire economy, hand all the wealth of the country over to them, & there will still be unemployed & poor people. The reasons of poverty & unemployment span numerous factors, like education, judgement, work ethic, discipline, & luck.

the real question is, where you you draw the line on compassion & safety nets for people in need, when resources are limited. 99 weeks of unemployment benefits helps the unemployed, but it doesnt create jobs for them.

Hating the rich & taxing them out of the country won't create jobs or make poor people productive in society. There will always be people with needs, & government needs to draw lines & stop acting like they have unlimited money to spend on them.
