Exactly. I don't think we should make taxes more complicated at all, but I do think the ultra-wealthy in particular should actually pay taxes. My effective tax rate right now is about 40%, while folks like Bezos, Zuck, Musk, etc... all pay less than 30% effective tax rate, despite being the richest dinks on the planet. It's infuriating that we bleed the middle class so thoroughly with taxes while folks who would see it as a rounding error get so many ways to pay less. Like, when you're already a billionaire... what the fuck does an extra 100 million even matter? It's like me finding a ten dollar bill in my couch.
