$3 Billion-a-year is less than a hundreth of what the IRS reports annually in tax gaps due to mistakes or, more likely, fraud.
I think part of the reason the Bush Administration and the GOP get away with policy so blatantly favoring wealthy individuals and corporations is that it sounds too outrageous to be true.
True--and if you polled most Americans, they wouldn't know that income earned from sitting on your ass waiting for a dividend check is taxed at a lower percentage than the actual wage work they do.
