I think the point is a lot of peeps who don't need the money don't do that, and even if they do, what? more money to build new prisons? :/
when I lived in Belize I lived less than 10 feet from the shoreline. Paul Allen (Microsoft) had the 'smaller' of his two yachts parked out in the ocean right in front of my place for weeks.
I initially thought it was a cruise ship as it was so huge. had a helicopter on a platform on the back that looked like a toy in comparison to the size of the yacht. every night lit up like xmas, sure the energy bill for all that alone is more than most peeps in North America make in a year.
my neighbor and one of my friends and I wanted to row out to ask to be adopted, with me in front so we all didn't get shot approaching the boat
but yeah, tax cuts for the super-rich don't make much sense. tax cuts to low and middle income peeps however means that more money gets injected into local economies. is anyone even still on that 'trickle down' train?
I like paying taxes. it's a privilege to share with my nation of residence
