    Conversely there is one simple reason why politicians who hope to get re-elected will never tax the rich.

    Because that is where all the money is

    Get the special interests and money out of politics and we may have a chance of taxing them.

        The people who don’t have any money can’t vote for anybody who is good about this because that’s how it’s designed. It’s not our fucking fault.

        I mean it is; that we haven’t taken power directly.
