I'm far more concerned with guys who make tens of millions and pay zip in taxes vs 'welfare queens.'

There will always be some who game the system. And 'welfare queens' are a much smaller problem than somebody who doesn't pay anything and moves the tax burden my way.

You can have the best accountants in the world but it's a rigged tax system. If you aren't in the super rich category or you aren't a corporation, you're going to pay taxes.


As I said, in every system there will be cheats. But I'd much rather have a safety net for people who need it with some cheats than have no safety net at all. I think the anger that most people have is misdirected.

If the economy was a piece of pie the super rich would have all but one slice. The upper middle class would have have a slice and the rest is shared by everybody else. And the rich pay less taxes than you or I do.

What the heck do I care if somebody who has crumbs on his plate is trying to get more crumbs for himself?

2k less in taxes is meaningless in the grand scheme of things. There are guys avoiding millions in taxes. Guess who picks up that tab. You and I do.
Why?
