THE REAL REASON THE RICH DON'T
WANT TO PAY THEIR SHARE OF TAXES.

The drive to make a lot of money, and by a
lot | mean millions and billions. is fuelled in
great part by ego. The world is filled with
people who want to show everyone how:
great they are and have it acknowledged.

So they use all their skill and cunning to
amass a fortune, then they adopt the lifestyle
that goes with it. Garish, almost greasy in
a way, screaming look at me, I'm this huge
success

Some people, like Donald Trump, don't
just flaunt their wealth, but brag about it
openly. Most just let others do it for them
and the wealthy have no shortage of
sycophants hanging around

It is a whole culture that has been build
on the superficial foundation of ego

So the last thing these people would want
is to have their ability to accumulate wealth
impacted by something as trivial as taxes.
Especially when its a lot more cost effective
to just buy the lawmakers

In the mean time, the governments end up
cutting beneficial social programs that they
might have been able to finance with every-
body paying their fair share of taxes.

But sooner or later some government will
come along and make them pay and show
them there are some things money can't buy.

At least that's the hope.

Most people work for money, but the rich make money work for them. It's not how much you make, yet how much you keep. This is where taxes come in.

The rich already pay the highest taxes, but the laws are also written to help them grow because their assets are what create the jobs. In the eyes of taxes, the richest ‘people’ in the world are not rich, their corporations they own are. If you tax those to death, the structure dies, and the jobs and system is gone.

I like to think of it as a Billion Dollar diamond I might own. I make money off of selling tickets to show at museum or something. My Net Worth is in the billions, but my employee based business is based on the ticket sales. If I am require to pay a tax on the value of the diamond, the only way for me to pay it, is now to sell the diamond. Now my business is gone, along with the employees I was supporting. 

‘To much money’ is a mindset because there is no glass ceiling and it can keep going up.

Some thoughts Jim on this 

 

Over conceited self importance can result in looking foolish.

 

Ego trips but the humble dont stumble

 

Sane normal people don't need power trips

So the lunatics end up in charge of everything 

So says James P Morgan
