If you are working hard doing 3 jobs, then I doubt you would be among the super rich. Why should they be able to avoid even paying their low tax rate through clever accounting and off shore tax havens? If you have been able to make a lot of money in banking for instance which is legalised criminality, then you should pay back a lot of that. If you have made a fortune borrowing money from the central banks at low interest rates and are getting bigger returns by investing, then you really should be paying your share of taxes. It goes on and on. The super rich are beyond all law and they should be brought back under control.

Why would you make excuses for that? Your country has terrible roads, run down transport systems, ghettos, a declining middle class, 3rd world poverty and you are making arguments to perpetuate a system that created such misery? It makes no sense. If that's what you want then fine, but it looks a bit daft. America has become a banana republic because the rich pay so little yet control the entire system.
