As I said, I'm not going to post my tax return if that's what you want. I'm not elected official and not running for office
I gave you a simple example, you went on with your usual deflections and distractions. The point is this, due to a loophole, humongous compensations for services (aka salary) are taxed at capital gains rates INSTEAD of the regular income tax rates. So a salary of 1 billion dollars can be taxed at approximately 23.8%. If you still don't understand, it would be difficult to help you.
I can just as easily give an example that shows the opposite. Plus, you've still failed to prove you pay a higher tax rate.

You could. Of course that would be completely irrelevant because that's the way it is supposed to be, while my example showed what should not happening.
No, it's not according to me, it's according to the current tax law. And according to the same law I can't do it and neither can you. Reading comprehension is important.
Massive rigging has been going on since the start of the "great recession"..........those
emergency-measures have been kept in place and added to....trillions upon trillions of dollars.
Hey, do you think the DOW pretty much just goes up and up and up for well over 12-years, that is mainly Fedgov's doing.

Think very carefully about why they're doing that...
The reason is that if they don't prop up the markets (DOW, etc.), 100 million people will lose the value accrued in their pensions and retirement accounts. Protecting public employee pensions, in particular, is a very high priority to the Fed Gov and especially Democrats as those union members are overwhelmingly Democrat voters.
Democrats: tout a more even playing field, yet only look out for their self interest.
Republicans: tout free market capitalism, yet don't mind crony capitalism as long as it benefits them.
both are hypocrites and both will favor tax policies that are in direct contradiction to their outward ideologies as long as it benefits them.
There you go.
