Excellent point. The miles long US tax code leaks taxation on the wealthy like a sieve, by design, such that many of our billionaires pay less than average working class citizens. It’s grotesque, and even now they’re pushing to strip healthcare from millions to pay even less.

I have heard some dems a/b testing recently on ideas of taxing wealth not work. I really like that approach in theory, hope it sticks and we can finally start narrowing the insane and utterly untenable wealth gap.
