Agree. Also, the top 10% of wage earners pay 72% of all IRS collections. 51% pay nothing, which is why I don’t think 51% of the people should have the right to vote. When Libs say: “The rich don’t pay their fair share, I agree, and state they should get a tax cut.” Kinda fun to watch their heads explode. I also hear stupid people say that the wealth Bezos has is unfair and should be stripped away. My response: “Tell you what...you create 200,000 new jobs, all of whom pay income taxes, and see how you feel about your taxes.”

We are on the same page. And the math of progressive voluntary compliance (!) means that an across-the-board tax cut will go disproportionately to the "wealthy."

Any Deplorable with basic Excel skills should spend some time with the IRS' SOI files. It's a bit depressing, but it's empowering data.

And lest anyone think those "rich" people demanding higher taxes are benevolent, here they are on video refusng to do so voluntarily.
