"whatever you do - don't post a link that would prove your argument "
I did.
You just don't know how to read it, or analyze it.
Why can't you admit your initial posted article didn't cover the world, it just covered America? It's not difficult.
Instead, you've twisted yourself into a pretzel, screeching everything EXCEPT an admission.
Just ask yourself: which way would the macro dials go, if the WORLD's wealthiest were included in the analysis? Does that 45% floor raise, or lower?
Hint: it raises.
Why is it so hard to believe that, once included, THE WORLD's top 1/10th of 1% got OVER HALF the cost of the Trump 1.0 tax code?
" As far as I can tell it is not a violation of the Constitution."
What a riot.
If this was Obama banning Fox News, OANN, or Newsmax, you'd have no problem calling it a violation, again and again and again.
Hell, you'd be posting three threads a day on the topic.
