There’s a bit of a double edged sword here. Removal of taxes leads to more coupled private/government relationships. Where external interests fund politicians to protect their own monopolistic interests. That money needs to come from somewhere. Wealthy people don’t want to pay taxes. But they sure do like to pay money to members of the government to further their own interests. Remember it was about taxation without representation. Wealthy people pay a lobbying ‘tax’ and get representation. In this way they are just paying a tax in a different way, where they get benefits and you get very little to nothing.
