“Do not lose time on daily trivialities. Do not dwell on petty detail. For all of these things melt away and drift apart within the obscure traffic of time. Live well and live broadly. You are alive and living now. Now is the envy of all of the dead.” ~ Emily3, World of Tomorrow
Words to live by.
Because you can look it up? The richest people in the world already pay most taxes.
They are just trying to pay less then half of what they are forced to pay by all you poor people and your government.
Maybe its time to stop trying to steal the money of the successful and be successful your self.
Theft = theft no matter how much money the guy you are stealing from has.
Its always been suspected, never official though. Can anything really be done about it other than shamefully wagging your finger at people on the list?

I'm sure even the super rich appreciate the police, military, court system and so on, heck there's even rich people who realise that having billions of dollars is pretty pointless and giving them away does not affect their life, I don't expect them to give away to charity, but I do expect them to pay their taxes just as I do.
Your assumption that everyone who does not pay millions in taxes are "lazy people who cant hold a job for a month" is pretty ignorant.
If they really havent named US politicians yet and theres actually a lot on there, that could be the match that lights the cord
And they pay for the police/military a lot more then everyone else.
Why do we need to tax the shit out of people that made something with their life?
Why can't they pay 1000 in taxes like a normal person does and enjoy the rest as they see fit?
They came up with an idea or made something of their life to be successful while millions of other people did not or could not.
Why are we punishing these people?
As I said, I would fucking hide every single penny I owned to pay as little taxes as possible (seeing that would still be more then average Joe).
Because if everybody had to pay the same flat amount, those poor people would literally be unable to even pay that(because spoiler alert, that amount would have to increase by a lot to make up for those rich people not paying more), leaving nothing for them to live off of... which would not be ideal for those rich people, because eventually there would be nobody left to make money off of.
