I have no problem with lowering some taxes, but they need to close the loopholes to actually reflect the real tax rate. Until then it needs to go up
and here we're back to the disconnect.

if the guy made $200mil and paid 15% he paid THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS for the same services you paid $10k for

he's paying more than his far share and more than you will in your lifetime but somehow, thats not enough for you.

don't envy your betters, become them
