But that’s actually my point, flu. Tax rates on the upper middle class, definitions of wealthy at $250K, etc. — that’s a trivial matter dollar-wise.
The more important issue involves the big players, large corporations and wealthy individuals with access to sophisticated legal and accounting expertise paying an effective tax rate that is well below what normal middle class people pay on income. It’s disgusting.
I think we should be enforcing effective tax rates on large corporations and wealthy individuals by attacking tax avoidance strategies, shutting down loopholes and rolling up the freeloaders. Put them in jail if necessary.
