Like buying another superyacht, or a twenty-room mansion they visit twice a year, or another congressman?
I can’t fault anyone for paying not a cent above what they owe in taxes, but I can fault them for lobbying to lower their taxes even when they’re at a historically low level, and they’re making more and more while the real incomes of most Americans have stagnated for decades.
Conversely, I can praise the rich who think they’re getting it too easy, and that it’s bad for America in the long run (including them). The wise elites have always understood the value of a guillotine insurance, and that includes paying their reasonable share of taxes to ensure things don’t get to the point where the guillotines are coming out.
