So if taxed the rich, we could probably fund the government? Considering the federal budget is a few trillion short, this seems like a no brainer.
Oh wait, I forgot we allowed the rich to pass a bunch of tax cuts to prove that various social programs ran by the federal government are too expensive and should therefore be completely defunded and removed.
I mean who needs a pension or healthcare so long as you continue to work until you are 75? /s
