Robbie no doubt sings the lyrics from the 1970s song, "If I Could Change the World". Like the vocalist, he no doubt yearns to, "Tax the rich, feed the poor, till there are no rich no more." Of course, Robbie believes that only certain of the rich should pay higher taxes. Raising taxes across the board would reduce donations from those who contribute to liberal causes. Dave Chappell made a telling comment several years ago when he quoted Donald Trump when debating Hillary Clinton. His words, paraphrased, "If you want me to pay more taxes, change the tax code but I know you won't because the people who support you take the same advantages that I do".

Members of Congress are all millionaires. It’s naive to think they’ll raise taxes on themselves.
