Them that's got shall have Them that's not shall lose So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own. (‘God Bless the Child’/Billie Holiday)
While most of the country spends Tax Day occupied with the stress of W2s, 1099s and tax-filing software, millionaires like us pay our tax attorneys top dollar to make sense of all the red tape for us.
That doesn’t mean Tax Day isn’t still a nightmare for us, too, albeit for a different reason. For us, as Patriotic Millionaires, April 15 serves as a scary reminder of the rigged nature of America’s tax code. The U.S. tax system has enabled a concentration of wealth so extreme that it threatens our economy, our democracy and the planet. And this year’s Tax Day is even scarier, as Republicans are negotiating a tax bill that would further rig the system in favor of wealthy people like us and deepen America’s inequality crisis.

Greed, Gluttony, Selfishness, Self-serving, Grifting pick one, choose all, and when you voted for Trump and almost the entire cadre of Republican Politicians, you decided that MONEY is what will make America great again…not your money but the wealth of a brigade of millionaires and billionaires.
When you voted for Trump pretending that the price of eggs or a gallon of gasoline was all that mattered, you decided that the poor, those of us living under the poverty level, those of us struggling to maintain our middle-class standards were less important than a bunch of wealthy folk remaining wealthy. Somehow, you conveniently forgot that you were actually the OTHER in the eyes of the UPPER CLASS…peasants to be toyed with and, worse, to be owned.
