So how the fuck are you supposed to accumulate wealth in this stupid country??? It seems like all the millionaires are corrupted in some way. I mean It's damn near impossible to accumulate wealth with such a high tax rate.

Is there loop holes you can use if you make over $100,000 so you can keep a decent sum of your earnings if you're self employed?
You're doing it wrong.
Obama paid an effective tax rate of 20.5 percent on income of $789,674 last year.
Sounds fair to me.
