    Taxing the rich does nothing until you can fix the government. Fix the government first, and you can fix the rest. The government is the rich, they aren’t going to do anything that would impact themselves. Some of them talk a good game, but if push comes to shove, they aren’t going to raise taxes on themselves.

      If only we had some way to find the funds we need to overhaul the government… oh well. Guess we’ll just die or something.

        So we can tax the rich for the money right? And where does that money go? Oh ya, to the government, who does whatever they want with it, making themselves, their friends, and donors, richer. That’ll definitely help us /s

          You’re just kind of making yourself look silly here. You know there’s an annual budget thing that happens every year right? POTUS doesn’t just get to sit on trillions of dollars la la la.

      “Fix the government”? The government already knows how to spend money. They spend hundreds of billions of dollars every year on things that benefit everyday Americans. Okay, so there’s corruption. There’s corruption in literally every government on Earth. The answer is to start taxing the rich more.
