    Then you have to continually fight a lot of battles about your money and it gets complicated but sure that’s definitely a thing people also do and there are no magic bullets and all options for everything are a bit sucky - but having some of these mega-high-earners pay a bit more tax is still better than doing nothing because you’re worried they’ll take the money away, and the wider the policy of fair graduated tax is applied, the better it works

      Make the IRS feared again
