The ultra wealthy evade taxes. Tax shelters like those disclosed in the Panama papers and the Paradise papers are rampant.

Giant corporations evade taxes as well. But whenever the wealthy crash the economy (something they do about once a decade) they get bailed out and the American taxpayers is left to drown.

The problem is that we pay taxes. The problem is that we get nothing for our money. The American taxpayer can’t afford to keep supporting the ultra rich in the style to which they are accustomed.
