@wildgrass saidNo argument, that there are tax cheats. There are also people who have inherited all of their wealth. There are also people who take advantage of tax breaks. Are you thus suggesting that we zero in on all those scalawags who are getting this free ride… that, we change all of the tax structure to rein them in, and upset other Apple carts in the process by doing so?
Monopoly is a good analogy, since everyone starts out with the same amount of money and the rules don't change mid-game.
At that point it's just about luck.
The entire point is that the Trump tax cuts changed the game to favor wealthy people, allowing them to avoid paying taxes that normal folks have to pay. People who already have a ton of money get to use a stacked deck of Chance cards while the rest of us have to pay income tax. Yes, I call that cheating.
You guys really hate rich people. You dwell on it. When they have nothing to do with you.
