    The US Government and Billionaires are opposing forces, one political party wants to tax billionaires while the other is on the payroll.

      They’re not at all opposing forces. Some billionaires are in competition with each other and political parties are tools at certain billionaires disposal.

      The act of taxing income is but one political mechanism used to influence the power of some billionaires over another.
