In just about every social circle, it's a major victory not to pay tax. Anyone that uses H&R Block, Turbo Tax and every other preparer organization promises your "maximum refund" or your money back.
Local elections are won or lost based on keeping property taxes down.
No one wants to pay more in taxes, but if you do, ClintonianCake, I can get you the address to write a personal check to the IRS, just because you are well off enough to do so and I suggest that those in your social circle follow their principles and do the same thing.
That's a ridiculous argument. Yes, no one likes to pay tax and would love to pay as low a tax as possible.
However people above the poverty line still end up paying taxes because it's the law. The notion that a billionaire is able to get away with paying zero tax for decades is not going to play well voters because these avenues of claiming loss and carrying them forward are not available to every day people.
Heck, Trump has himself complained about hedge fund managers pay no taxes despite huge profits
