that simple math exercise is literally what made me change from being a registered democrat to a registered republican when i was in my early 20s. It essentially proves irrefutably that the entire concept of liberal economics ( all we need to do is tax the rich a bit more) is nonsense.
I’m not saying the tax code can’t be made more fair. But liberals act as if the marginal rate on zillionaires is the only thing stopping us from pure utopia, when in reality (. it where liberals like to operate) the impact is practically a rounding error.
