the tax plan that I advocate would make me a lot poorer. It isn't hard for a business owner to write off expenses, travel, vehicles and a lot of things that are only partially related to the business. People do not get rich earning an hourly wage, no matter how many hours per day they labor. Mr. Mcguire of United Health Group lives a 24 hr. day like the rest of us but earned 1.6 B in compensation. Find some evidence that he works harder than others,evidence that he is a genious, has created lots of jobs. ? Becoming very wealthy rarely has anything to do with extraordinary hard work or job creation . It is its own peculiar talent. Persuade those pals on the board of directors to provide generously regardless of job performance... that is obviously key.
