Oh, that one’s easy. They make most of their wealth by buying and selling… you thought I was gonna say stocks… nope, politicians. Most of the tax code is about how to let the filthy stinking rich hang onto every last cent, made up for by soaking the “little people” (in the words of Leona Helmsley) who can’t afford the accountants, lawyers, and time, to fight the IRS.
