Exactly. The public woke from their stupor and realized it would be yet another "Bush" vs "Clinton" election and their write in candidate would have been Mickey Mouse, and then Trump showed up out of nowhere and a large segment of the population is perfectly content with sending a big "FU" to the establishment by supporting him over the pre-packaged Bush and Clinton ruling dynasties.

.. pay more taxes "scumbag"
It's naïve to believe 90% rates were ever paid by anyone - other than the truly infantile not able to use every damn deduction in the code.
Yet you are probably with those against a flat tax - which would do away with all the shenanigans the rich use to avoid paying more.
I prefer they pay more - rather than pay more to their tax accountants and lawyers, if the government spent the additional money more wisely than they spent the current amount.
I also hope for world peace.
We both know though neither will happen.
Kudos KTM on elegantly stated economic logic. Well done. I wish there was just one parameter that could be adjusted to fix the system, but it just ain't so.
