The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

[OakesCS]

There's plenty of lawyers that would be better employed defending looters and murderers in places like Charlotte NC and prosecuting and defending HRC

Saying that if we want to preserve our income we have to hire a lawyer is absurd. That's why some of us would be happy with a flat tax and everybody paying income taxes. If Buffett wants to pay more, he can send a fat check to the IRS anytime he wants. He hasn't so he should stop suggesting that others pay more. Same for Hillary.

I am trying to change the law but there are far too many folks who like free stuff and not paying taxes.

BTW my family has utilized rather expensive tax lawyers and it was indeed worthwhile, however, tax laws have NOT always been this complicated nor onerous. Tax law that allows Bill Clinton to deduct $5 a pop for his used undies is a stupid tax code.
