    The reason we haven’t seen those tax increases in the ultra-rich is that they have a direct line to the legislators that the common folk don’t have. They will spend a billion dollars if that will save them one dollar in expenses. It’s cheaper for them to buy a senator than to pay a fair amount of taxes.
