Not to be a devil's advocate but the little people aren't paying taxes. The top 20% pay the taxes for the most part, the problem is the money in the first place giving too small of a group of people too much say in how everyone lives.

    You do realize there are states where there is NO income tax, and everything is funded by regressive sales taxes that hit the poor and lower income brackets MUCH harder?

    TX and WA for example.

    The 'little people' as you so eloquently fucking put it, are paying WAY more taxes than they should, and the 'fat greedy bastard' people have accounting teams to prevent that for themselves. What an ignorant take. Fucking christ man stop licking boots and educate yourself.
