They are so rich because they scam the system
Having read your article “The rich shape the tax system designed to save them billions,” Dec. 30, I find it incredibly frustrating how the very, very rich pay very, very little in taxes to support this country that allows them to be very very rich!
Every single one of us who is not very, very rich should be yelling at the top of our lungs about how unjust this is! The very, very rich aren’t rich because they earn their money. They are very, very rich because they scam the system, and we little guys all let them do it because we sit back and do absolutely nothing about it.
Well, I for one am sick of it. I plan to carefully assess political candidates and will fight for those who fight for me, the little guy. And I will make a lot of noise about it. And if Bernie Sanders is the only candidate making a big issue about this, then he will have my vote because if he gets a lot of votes, it will still make a lot of noise — even if he is not elected.
