Lowering taxes on the wealthiest of us does little to nothing for the rest of the population, so the real question is why do it at all if it just enables them to acquire even more land, stocks, cars, etc? What's the point besides 'I don't trust the government to use our billionaires' taxes well" from the underclass proponents and "I want more money" from the 1%ers?

Well it’s pretty simple.
Giving more money to the state is worse for everyone.
It’s clear that people have learned nothing from history. Y’all are begging for big daddy government to steal money from billionaires because you’re bitter, without realizing that you’re going to be worse off, not them.
