Then why not start with the root of corruption? If the end result is the same, why not go after the politicians that enable the rich to ease taxes to begin with?
Because often times you have to cut a tree down from the top, you can't just uproot it right away. It's the reason we go up stairs one at a time instead of two or three at a time. The end result is the same but we learned as kids it takes a lot more effort taking a few massive steps instead of more smaller ones. Politics takes time, politicians have a lot of voices to sift through. We'll always hear our own voice in a choir, it's a lot harder from the audience.
But literally how!? The politicians who control tax law are in control. Isn't this a paradox?
If you can't change the laws, change the politicians, If you can't change the politicians, change the system. If you can't do either, talk about it until enough people agree and you can. Incremental changes my friend.
