Making the rich “pay their fair share” to the government will not increase the “revenue” to the government. Anyone who believes that is a moron. When the rich have more money taken that used for wealth creation, there is less wealth created. For the moron who needs a further explanation, that wealth is what generates “revenue” for the government.
For the DC insiders it dosen’t matter if the taxes on the rich are never collected.
It is all about “optics”—aka conning the ignorant public.
There will always be gigantic loopholes for the rich—they will just hire a sharp tax accountant and deduct the cost for hiring them!
