makes the same points about 1980's tax reform, how real
estate and large capitalists had reduced tax rates while
professionals - lawyers, accountants, doctors and the like - faced
increased tax rates because the deductions were tightened up.

if fat cats like Trump paid their fair share instead of being heavy burdens on working people.

They require an imperial military but refuse to pay for it. This is why we can't have nice things like living wages, universal health insurance, and the ability to educate our kids.

And refuse to serve in it. Yet they can't wait to use it. The worst kind of freeloaders--warmongering freeloaders.
