Watch this! Over the last 40 years the corporatist juggernaut has succeeding in convincing people that making the already very, very, very rich even richer is somehow to their own benefit. A billionaire friend of mine once told me “ My taxes are so low it’s obscene.”

This is one of the most important 11 seconds you can watch. It shows tax rates since 1950. The right-most part of the line represents billionaires. Watch what's happened to their tax rates over the last 70 years Source: nytimes.com/interactive/2019…

Tax Rates are meaningless because of Deductions. A Flat Tax would provide the most fair plan. Corporations too. Tax their Sales not Profits, which disappear as Expenses are written off.

Juggernaut comes from an Indian concept akin to the Cathar Rex Mundi. The shoe fits....

Envy and resentment, aka, slave morality. Why should the more wealthy pay more than the less wealthy? What is the moral basis of it?
Replying to @marwilliamson
The discussion on tax has been going on for years. And there hasn’t been anything about how inflation and how it affects citizens. Should there be a discussion on how keep Products and services lower and still get the wealthy to invest more in America.without a tax increase.

When we start living in a World filled up with people who can feel The Inner Healing Love coming from Our Creator, everyone will be filled up with so much Love, that even the billionaires will stop attempting to fill up the hole in their Souls, with large amounts of money.

The biggest prize for the rich, was in 1971, when the Gold Standard was completely abandoned. This allowed unlimited creation of debt based fiat currency. This required inflation [loss in value of the currency] massive levels of debt which transfers money to the rich.

Wealthy people had no problem paying their fair share of taxes in the 1950's ... so why have we gone from about 76% down to, I think, about 26% ... other than the fact that ... most Senators are Millionaires ... and ... they are receiving Big Donations from Wealthy People.
