Rich Not Taxed

It was brought home to me once again finding out that Trump, who lives like a king, didn't pay federal taxes on his income for 8 years in a row.  We all know that the rich are able to use loopholes in the tax laws that aren't available to regular people but it doesn't make it any easier to take.  A huge problem with our society is that average hard working people pay a percentage of their income every year to run the country.  The very fact that people like Trump can live in luxury but not have to pay a penny to run the country is disgraceful.

He's not the only one, of course.  The people with the most money and assets are just not paying their way.  We know it but can do nothing about it.  The people in power rule the world.

Power corrupts in more ways than one.
