    A 70% tax rate is insane. All that will do is incentivize taking money out of the country or cheating and lying and hiding all that money (even worse than now) I think a reasonable rate is around 20% or 30% and taxes should be structured where the people who make the least pay the least

      What are you talking about, my marginal tax rate is 22% now (I don’t make millions of dollars), and the marginal tax rate for someone who makes millions of dollars is 37%, and taxes are structured so that the people who make the least pay the least.

          At least it’ll be way more obvious where to conduct investigations if you visit a dude on his yaht in his private bay overlooked by 2 of his mansions and he’s like “Buh huh huh, officers, why, I only make $120k per year, I swear!”
