Gimpy if you have proof of an individual evading their taxes then you should report it. Otherwise it's just more meaningless partisan rhetoric from you.

For instance you should quit equaling the taking of legal deductions with "dodging taxes". Apples and oranges.

Besides. The "chunk" of stock that the "super rich" own is not by any means the largest chunk. If you shake down these companies it will just be passed on to all of us in the form of higher prices and reduced dividends. Don't you realize that the retirement funds of millions of Americans in all economic classes are dependent on those corporate profits that you want to hijack?

You also seem to forget that you could pool the ENTIRE net worth of every one of the super rich and it wouldn't even come close to paying off the Federal deficit let alone the retirement funds of all those "little guys" you claim to want to turn our system on it's ear to help.
