Instead of enacting tax provisions that anyone with enough money can easily shake off, why not do something about monopolies and patent laws? Why not do away with Big Money lobbies, and Big Money political speech?
If you are afraid that government programs will lead us down the road to serfdom, why not create a body of knowledge experts who can monitor their outcomes, good or bad, continue them, or vanquish them with true facts? And I know, I know, the Right hates the bureaucrats, those unelected government workers who are not elected - they call them the "Deep State", although none of them make much money. When the Right calls the bureaucrats the "Deep State", you kind of understand that it's really a projection. If you are a crook, you project corruption onto your prospective enemies.
It's a game that Trump learned from Roy Cohn, the guy who supported Senator Joe McCarthy during the so-called Red Scare.
