Pandora Papers: Panama Papers Part 2

[Eskimohorn 5642]

All this shit does is further whet the public's appetite to "tax the rich", so then we go and pass tax reform that purports to do that very thing.   Next thing you know, the middle class is being bled dry and the rich are still riching along without paying their fair share.  Rinse and repeat. 

When was the last “tax the rich” legislation that has passed the US Congress and signed into law? I cannot remember. George HW Bush administration?

None of them ever are, but many are proclaimed to be.  That was my point.

Sure hope not. Where do you think I incorporated Burnt Ends?

And when was legislation passed that purported to tax the rich but didnt?
