Really paying taxes is fine, we have representation issues to fix, but we all gotta pay our fair share.
imo the problem is the special treatment of rich people and the way it encourages middle income people to act like temporarily embarrassed oligarchs instead of citizens of a republic.
Tax loopholes which result in a lower effective tax rate. Lesser accountability for crimes. Ability to break any law which is penalized only with fines.
Do you really not know what rich people can get away with in the US?
I agree 100%, we all should be, but in today's America, the most "specially treated" are not rich, so if you are to hate people for being special under law, it is not the rich you should be hating first.

I see special treatment of many non-rich people too, so I do not see the issue to be with the rich.
It's not about the special treatment, its about being equal under the law.
