Thank you, and thank you for articulating so very well the frustrations of someone who has spent years trying to help others and feels they are getting nowhere.
That takes me to Mr. Caplan, who had a very impressive resumé of helping and creating things to help vulnerable people. I was absolutely amazed when you kept saying there is only one taxpayer. Actually, there isn't only one taxpayer; there is a collective of taxpayers, some of whom are taking home a lot more money than others.
For example, the top 20% of income-earning families are now taking home 43% of the national income; whereas the bottom 20% are only taking home 5%. All of those are individual taxpayers, but are you satisfied that it is all just fine?
