When you create an elite class, they're the ones you go to for taxes...but they don't care as long as they can purchase congress and pass any regulation they want, they'll gladly pay more taxes for mass profit.
The rich don't care about taxes or the dollar, they invest in real assets that now have become out of reach for most americans.
The GOP sell elitism under a lie called capitalism. We could easily be heading for a two class system of 80% in poverty, the rest billionaires. Our children and grandchildren will live much differently than we.
You think the middle class don't pay taxes. Add your sales tax, property tax, gas tax, electric tax and all the small hidden taxes seemingly in every bill to your fed and state tax...most of us that make under 100K a year pay about 35% in total tax.
