    The solution to lobbying and citizens united isn’t tax changes - it’s transparency in political funding and the electorate giving a fuck. And, pretty obviously, if most of a governments tax income came from a few hundred individuals they’d have enormous power, even if you did fix the lobbying/citizens united problem- they could just leave and crash your income overnight

      But, currently, those people already have enormous power … and we’re not even getting any money out of the deal.
