The US ultra-rich justify their low tax rates with three myths – all of them rubbish

Don't fall for these three myths. +

Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke. 

The so-called free market has been distorted by huge campaign contributions from the ultra-rich. 

Don't lionize the ultra-rich as superior "self-made" human beings who deserve their billions. They were lucky and had connections.
