Comment on What is the argument for making poor/working class folks shoulder the burden of taxes?

Rich people have special access to the legislative machinery that you and I don’t. Through bribes “contributions” they can craft laws that let them avoid paying their fair share of the tax burden. They can also “modify” pending legislation to remove the penalties for breaking those laws. It must be nice to live in a consequence-free environment.

The sad truth is that this is exactly the answer. Rich people have more power by virtue of being rich.
