"We're going to close the unproductive tax loopholes that allow some of the truly wealthy to avoid paying their fair share. In theory, some of those loopholes were understandable, but in practice they sometimes made it possible for millionaires to pay nothing, while a bus driver was paying ten percent of his salary, and that's crazy. <...> Do you think the millionaire ought to pay more in taxes than the bus driver or less?"
-- President Ronald Reagan, June 1985
What? You didn't know your government will lie and say anything to get your vote?
Fucking retarded the bus driver does not pay an income tax they don't make enough money so they are reimbursed. These tax the rich ideas are tools to rob the people of even more wealth, the super rich DONT pay taxes or answer to the government, they own the government!!!!!
