When Politicians rant about the wealthy not paying their fair share, they point to the billionaires, but the tax laws they pass are actually intended to impact the little people like us on this forum.
Once the government showed it could just vote a few extra TRILLION dollars into existence with zero concern for how to pay for it, the curtain was pulled back on the whole "need to raise taxes on the rich" argument.
Seems the real purpose of the income tax is to prevent citizens from gaining financial independence from having to work, or said another way to keep as many as possible from breaking free of the bonds that make them slaves to the system. That freedom from having to work to survive being what many here have done, or hope to one day do.
