Is this really a "movement" or just the opinion of a few people, most notably this reporter.

I would submit the opinion that the majority of people think that the very wealthy should pay more taxes, because they believe that the rich are rich enough to pay people to figure out how to pay less than their fair share. Hedge Funds, Charitable Foundations, tax loop holes, etc.

As far as the lottery mentality, I have always thought that those that play the lottery are in desperation thinking. They believe that the only way out of their situation is to win money via the lottery. That is why a large percentage of the people that buy lottery tickets are from the lower economic level. I doubt they spend much time thinking about tax laws and how it might impact on their winnings. They have visions of big houses, fast cars and no money worries. Which is why so many of the biggest winners come to a bad ending or end up broke a few years down the road.
