There are some very stupid things in that article. I ignored them. There were some good points:
1. Proof of the hypocrisy of top billionaires lobbying for higher taxes on their competition.
2. The typical American pays almost twice as much in taxes as they are able to keep for themselves, while top billionaires get 100x in the opposite direction.
I saw this as evidence that the tax system is just feudal wealth transfer to our owners. Their 'solutions' are also terrible, but there is strong evidence that we don't need it at all. Income tax is currently less than 10% of treasury funding.
