Goodness, let's not forget the super rich and super nasty Leona Helmsley, famous in the 1980s for being ' The Queen of Mean'.

She has been immortalized for saying, "We don't pay taxes; only the little people pay taxes."

(She denied saying it. But was eventually sentenced to jail for tax evasion.)

On the one hand, the CDC/FDA is spending too much and doing too little good to read the comments here. On the other hand, the "Super" rich aren't paying enough? They should pay more to do what? Doesn't seem logically consistent.

As I recall the Pro Publica article objected to perfectly legal tax deductions. If you don't like it, talk to your Congressman and Senators.
