We'd also save money by going single payer!

It’s exhausting to know in a democracy, we are living unequal lives when it comes to justice and taxation. And yet the system, by design, is so complicated that no one can do anything to change it.

i honestly wonder, Will we see a mass tax revolt in the next 4 years? of course i’m a fanatical believer in public goods, but between the defiant fraud of the rich and the knowledge of what horrors my tax dollars will support (mass deportations, etc), my tax-as-civic-duty ethic is starting to give

Can we also discuss how regular ol millionaires avoid income taxes by funneling all their money into “businesses” and paying themselves a pittance (on paper)? While us real workers pay our fair share.

We are in a do loop, wealthy people donate to political campaigns to get politicians elected, then we allow those same politicians to create and modify the tax code. What could possibly go wrong? There is enough income in the U.S. to pay for all our programs if we would only tax everyone equitably

Fascinating, the machinations that people go through to create more and more wealth -- honestly, how do they even begin to spend that much?

So this trove of information is illegally obtained!

These United States of America have one IRS (federal) tax code.
It is made of two very different sets of rules:
1) Of the wealthy, by the wealthy, for the wealthy.
3) For the rest of US.

Close the damn loophole. 🤬

These rich tax cheats and all others as well have been treated as exempt from the social contract. The exemptions which they have enjoyed and to which they feel entitled need to be permanently abolished and their back taxes should be clawed back.
