The reason you pay income tax at all (Well, not you, since you don't have a job, but the rest of us) is because billionaires a hundred and twenty years ago went on a tirade about how "nobody should have this much money, let's tax all those evil rich people. Not me, because I'm giving all my money to charity, but all the rest of those evil rich people who won't share their money"' and the 16th amendment was born, income tax was levied on the working and middle classes for the first time and "Socialism for the rich, capitalism for everyone else" was born. (After all, who better to manage government projects that philanthropic NGOs like the Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford Foundation, etc!).
