Well, duh. More importantly is whether you see that as morally fair or as stealing. Usually when people say this line, they're implying that the rich will have all their money stolen until they have the same amount of money as everyone else - and of course this isn't actually advocated anywhere outside of communist societies.
That particular quoted line reminds me of a friend, who when she got a $10k raise, could do nothing but bitch about how 'half of it was going straight to the government' (despite it actually being only about 30%). If you define how wealthy you are by how much is taken from you, you should probably re-examine your priorities.
