I'm sure if we just cut taxes a little more, our modern-day robber barons will choose to use their money to fix things on their own instead of building doomsday bunkers and buying superyachts.

The government is about forcing people to do things they dont want to. If something isnt against peoples wishes, you dont need the government to do it.
