Which is ridiculous, they'll do everything they can to pay as little in taxes as possible, no matter what their rate on the books is. Recently they haven't even had to hide their money in off-shore accounts, because the IRS simply hasn't had the money or resources necessary to audit the rich. It's estimated that they're cheating on their taxes to the tune of $800 billion annually.
We've tried sucking them off for decades, nothing's improved, it's only gotten worse. It's about time to start playing hardball with the parasites instead. Simplify the tax code, close all the loopholes, raise the top tax bracket to make up for the lost years.
