No, I want the standard of living to be raised for as many people as possible. Raising taxes on wealthy individuals is a way to do that. Rough example, but the difference in lifestyle between making $30k and $60k is huge. The difference between making $1 million and $2 million is not nearly as big.
So should the government just take the money from the rich people and deposit $10k-30k into people's checking accounts for them? Or just give them less incentive to do better for themselves by giving them the bare minimum to survive?
