In discussing federal taxes on rich people.
The real topic is federal taxes on rich people for services rendered to rich people. The only government he sees is the one he lives in, DC. There is state, city, and county government. The issue is how should services and taxes be distributed among the branches. Elites in DC start shifting government services among the government levels for the specific purpose of moving a service to the branch of government where is it not paid for. If you remove the mal-proportioned Senate then one gets a closer relationship between the voter, the taxpayer and the service rendered.
Yglesias gets the problem but is limited in talking about solutions, because his funding organization is elitist.
