You say that the rich have too many opportunities to avoid taxes? I agree but what they have is the ability to afford to find all of the obscure tax loopholes. One of the commenters above states that we should emulate Denmark. The problems we face are our own doing and made possible by both sides of the aisle. If we do as Denmark, very low taxation on business, simple startup policies and greatly reduced regulatory burden, then we would not be seeing businesses moving out of the country. Instead, we would be seeing job creation. One thing that does not help is the government celebrating creation of 120,000 jobs when in the same report, for the same month, the report outlined the loss of 450,000 jobs, yet that is ignored by the media. Democrats praise the great economic recovery, yet 93 million working age american adults are still unemployed. That is about 23% of the total population of the country. What percentage is it of working age americans? And the unemployment rate is what????
