I'm not sure how we get the uber wealthy to pay more in taxes but we need to do something. 

ProPublica has obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Warren Buffett pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth — sometimes, even nothing.

1. Our government has a spending problem not a revenue problem

2. You’re disincentivizing greatness

3. In most cases the uber wealthy use their their wealth 100x more efficiently than the government

In this instance, voting for “fairness” will lead to worse outcomes for all

How much *less* great would they be if they just paid their taxes instead of avoiding them? I don’t think they’d be less great.

Yes we have a spending problem. That’s not the issue. The issue is the person who makes 80k is paying their taxes and barely keeping their head above water. These guys, if they paid, would still be ultra rich. 

They should pay their fair share so little guys can pay a wee bit less.
