As explained at the web site linked below, the wealthy have been getting away with what amounts to legalized tax evasion for the last thirty years. This will come as no particular surprise to the average American. But the fact such legalized tax cheating went on for so long will surely be written about by historians for decades to come. It amounts to a new age of Robber Barons, and a resuscitated Golden Age.
The recent successful Democratic effort to raise taxes on the rich was only a small beginning in rolling back decades of legal stealing on the part of the oligarchs. This must be said if we are to be true to the facts. And being truthful about our recent history is critical to being able to correct the errors of the past and get back on track to an economy which is sound and thriving.
