They stopped going after the very rich because their budget was cut to the bone and they couldn’t afford to fight a protracted lawsuit and possibly lose.

They stopped going after the very rich because they were tactically underfunded by a corrupt administration that explicitly wanted them to stop going after the very rich. That administration then got voted out of office, so the rules are different now.

You're correct, but it didn't happen under Trump. It was under Reagan I believe. It's never been fixed.

America has never been fixed since Reagan

It's crazy how many problems in this country can be tied back to either Reagan's fuck ups not being fixed or FDR not going far enough.
