Couldn't you say that about anyone, not just the wealthy? Also, reforming tax systems seems extremely hard to do. How would you propose a motivated millionaire

Couldn't you say that about anyone, not just the wealthy?
Also, reforming tax systems seems extremely hard to do. How would you propose a motivated millionaire go about it?
- leot 13y agoProvide money for thoughtful, convincing research and advocacy.
- dnautics 13y agowho gets to decide what is 'thoughtful and convincing'? How can I be that person, so that I can decide my friends and family are thoughtful and convincing?
- tedsanders 13y agoAsking sincerely: How far do you think a few million dollars could go? What sort of research needs to be done (and would be convincing to lawmakers)? How would advocacy money be spent? I think this is a steep challenge, even for a millionaire.
- leot 13y agoThe first few million would need to be leveraged to gain the support of others with money and influence. Probably the first bunch would be spent meeting with lobbyists to hear what they propose. I'm afraid I can't speak to the returns on lobbying dollars spent, but clearly money talks in this arena. There are a variety of strategic and tactical moves that could be made. I'd be happy to share whatever ideas I have about them in direct communication (pseudonymous contact info is in my profile).
