@jmalonzo sure, the rich do what they can to make sure the tax burden falls as heavily as possible on the poor and middle class, in order to keep taxes unpopular.
but look at it this way: the greater the tax take the government demands, the more it must necessarily fall upon the rich. that’s where the money is!
the rich use their influence to try to insist before it hits us it will hit you! you should hate taxes too!
because they know a high tax state must mostly tax them.
