Tax the Super Rich now before the 99% rise up and trigger a new American Revolution

A loophole is an ambiguity that gets exposed and taken advantage of, that later gets sealed up. You swear people find all these flaws and gray areas in the guidelines and the IRS is left scratching their heads. They are educated people doing things legally. Anything else would be hiding money, which is simply tax evasion (penalty + criminal charges). They aren't slipping through cracks left and right. I get what you are trying to say. I am just stating that to say that people are finding loopholes in the tax system is a little too harsh.
Also, why do you keep talking about finances?
Having money has no direct correlation to having tax knowledge.
"Oh he's broke so he doesn't know how the IRS does things".
For all you know I work for the IRS.

Really? Example?
Don't be mad at me because I, along with the rest of the Siccness (aside from two people), realize how moronic "Gordon Gekko"'s arguments are. Hence, not worth the time & effort.
At least people like Rumpelstiltskin can usually bring forth a counterpoint that's worthy of debate. People like you & Gekko bring nothing to the table.

"We're asking shared sacrifice from a lot of people," Michigan Republican Gov. Rick Snyder
Everybody on both sides of the isle is pitching this "shared sacrifice" shit, but in the end it's only shared between "the other 98%."
Doris doesn't need those meals on wheels everyday... CUT IT!!!!
Dennis doesn't need that mental health care... CUT IT!!!!!
Little Amy doesn't need to eat lunch everyday... CUT IT!!!!!!!!
As long as you don't touch our war spending or our welfare for billionaires... those are OFF THE TABLE!!!!!!!!!
and the majority of both major parties are guilty of it.

Yes. Which is why, in general, I don't believe in taxes.
If 50 people came to my house and told me I needed to give them 10,000 a year it would be extortion and I would most likely shoot them.
However, if another group of people tell me I need to pay 10,000 a year it's called taxes and if I don't pay I go to jail.
If you don't support the war in Iraq/Afghanistan, imperial overtures in Libya, puppet governments in Saudi Arabia - why at the risk of going to jail, are you forced to pay for it?
Not to mention studies have also shown that people are more likely to help others when they are allowed to do so on their own volition rather than by mandate.
Yes IMO people should be able to pay for services they want - and not pay for those that they don't. If I choose not to pay the tab on police services, than they can let my call go to voice-mail when I call.
I am sure a lot of people would prefer not to contribute to our 600 billion annual military budget and would prefer to have their contribution routed to something they needed or supported.
Why should people not have a say in where their money should go?
