If you're rich enough you don't have to pay much in taxes -

 https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-federal-tax-returns-updates-290dd5b563d8d829ee8b89ab4471d2e2

Fox of course thinks the story is about the Democrats
in Congress - Murdoch doesn't care about Trump any more,
but he does care about taxing rich tycoons -

 https://foxnews.com/politics/democrats-release-former-president-donald-trump-tax-returns

Taxing the rich is a popular idea among voters, even among
Trumpist voters.     So GOP megadonors make sure that GOP
legislators and media keep those voters distracted -

GOP promises to protect its megadonors from annoying
audits!

 https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-congress-business-government-and-politics-0f645387cac1ebbe1551f95524cf3ce1

Why don't they just admit they want to abolish taxes on
billionaire megadonors and  regress to regressive taxes
on everybody else?

A better solution?

How the Trumpist Dixiecrat GOP fights increased tax
auditing of their megadonors - by pretending it applies
to the middle class.     Do YOU consider $400K and up
middle class?

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/08/11/hyperbolic-gop-claims-about-irs-agents-audits/

But it's just what we'd expect from the modern GOP.
They really want the IRS auditors to focus on EIC
recipients - poor people.

Ever heard of carried interest?

 https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/04/opinion/private-equity-lays-waste.html

Probably not, and that's no accident.    But every senator
- both parties - knows what it is and who benefits from
it - namely themselves from campaign donations from hedge
fund operators - the guys who buy struggling companies,
loot the cash, and lay off the employees.     And only
pay capital gains rates.    To protect it, they'll kill
the IRA bill if they can.

Maybe red states would prefer no Federal income tax and
no Federal help whatever for states.   Regional federalism
might be the answer.

 https://www.political-scrapbook.net/2020-regional.html

Red states successfully insure that they will get no
Federal help when the next recession dries up their tax
revenues.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2022/07/05/republicans-tax-cuts-stimulus/

Why finance infrastructure benefits for poor people when
you can cut taxes for job creator GOP megadonors?

The complexity of tax returns keeps going up.

 https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/qualified-business-income-deduction

And the price of a Senate campaign keeps going up.

 https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/11/politics/pennsylvania-expensive-senate-race/index.html

What's the correlation?      The most efficient way to get
a tax break is to be a major donor for a successful Senate
candidate.     The most efficient way to get major donor
support is to promise access at tax reform writing time.
Sounds like bribery?     It is, but if nothing is ever
explicit, it's not prosecutable.

What to do?     You could pass a tax law that everybody
could understand -

 https://www.one-flat-tax.net/

but GOP would oppose, and many Democratic legislators too.

You could eliminate dark campaign money - but that would
require a constitutional amendment, and GOP would oppose,
and many Democratic legislators too.

It used to be GOP candidates never talked about policy -

 https://www.political-scrapbook.net/2022-credos.html#gop

Now another Rick Scott Republican is willing to tell the
truth - major GOP donors know the plan is always to lower
taxes on billionaires and raise them on everybody else.
The only dispute is whether to admit it to the GOP and
swing voters.

IRS as Sisyphus - under bipartisan direction.  Democrats
pile on more tasks while GOP removes budget for headcount.
Now IRS has to give up something -

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/01/28/irs-backlog-taxpayer-notices/

The CP80 notice told you that one office couldn't find your
return.     It didn't mention that nobody was available
to search the millions of unopened paper returns from
last year.    This is their way to encourage us to file
electronically.

Time for flat tax?

 https://www.one-flat-tax.net/

How much do you know about QSBS?   Probably no more than
you know about carried interest, or stepped-us basis.
Those who know, do not want YOU to know.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/28/business/tax-break-qualified-small-business-stock.html

Rest assured that if a true flat tax proposal ever gained
traction, GOP senators and not a few Democrats would
piously defend the existing progressive tax system -
in all its regressiveness.

The essence of a hereditary nobility is that you can
inherit all the political, economic, and tax advantages
of your forebears without ever creating anything of value
on your own.
