1. Congress always talks about cutting budgets, but Pork keeps them in office.

Even Multi-millionaires are not going to risk losing their jobs, influence, and profitable perks for a "moral stance" on budget spending items their voting constituents rely on to keep food on the table.
The wealthy might get their tax cuts for a couple years, but the government still runs on revenue, and unless the Nation naturally falls into little insecure fiefdoms, the wealthy soon learns they do have to pay their taxes - at a higher rate than the average person, or the host that they are profiting off dies off along with the infrastructure that profit gets delivered with - and their money all goes away.
Taxes are the price for wealth. Always. And the wealthy always do very well when they respect and pay their taxes. Trouble only happens when they try to cheat the system.
Unless, of course, they plan on destroying the world just to avoid their responsibilities.

Back to Reality. Oops here comes Gravity...
