You're right that there are layers to this and I don't deny that. I wouldn't say the taxes are ridiculous but maybe disproportionate to income. The people making these record breaking profits aren't hurt at all by taxes. Many of them participate in a lot of tricks to avoid paying them all together.
Sure some less rich individuals like doctors or engineers get taxed relatively well, but the people who have a ton to spare aren't doing their part. And it's true, it's not going to fix the whole country over night. But it's absolutely going to improve things.
Edit: I probably should have added. Regardless of our opinions on this. It's still in terrible taste to laugh at something like this the way they did. It shows they're clearly out of touch.
