They can afford really expensive lawyers and accountants who help them find and exploit every little loophole they can. Normal people can't do that.

If I had my way we'd go back to FDR's tax levels. A wealth tax seems like a great idea but considering our legislature is further to the right than those in Europe, and they couldn't get it to work there, I don't have that much confidence in our ability to get it to work here.
