    It’s a myth that rich people aren’t already avoiding every tax they can. They would have you believe that there are rich people not currently avoiding a 20% tax who would avoid it if it were 40%. In fact they’re already doing everything they can do to avoid it and if they’re paying it at 20% they would still be paying it at 40%.

      I agree completely, but the issue is that 10% of something is still more than 80% of nothing.
