How about we close tax loopholes, legal or otherwise, and have the uber rich pay their fair share? If we did that, we could probably lower taxes for people making less than $150k a year, and eliminate taxes for people making less than $50k a year. Perhaps have an overall happier society as a side benefit?

They believe in the trickle down and are brainwashed by socialism.
And nobody wants to close those loopholes because the dream is the be rich and one day exploit those loopholes yourself.
