President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

Re: Political Roundtable Part XXIV
You can't just wave a magic wand and fix the tax system. There will be some leakage. But it's also flatly false that any tax you impose will be 100% ineffective. That's just preposterous.
One of the reasons we have such an obtuse tax system is we're letting people get away with distorting the system for their own nefarious ends. The solution to that is sunlight - more people, more NGOs paying attention to the tax giveaways lobbyists have built into the system, like AOC is doing.
To claim that the system is so corrupt that there's no point in trying to tax rich people is absurdly self-serving. And by the way it's not true. If it were the effective tax rate on people earning more than $10 million per year would be 0%. It's not, it's 26%. Can we base our discussion on facts please?
On the margin, yes, people find ways to dodge the system, so the effective tax rate is actually lower for those with income higher than $10 million and that is indeed wrong and broken and needs to be fixed. But we are still able to collect 26% from these people.
