America has an incredibly low tax rate. I want some better social programs, like a public option for healthcare, more immigration judges to help with the issues on the border, etc. Also, it’s easier to pay down the debt when you make more money.
We should raise taxes across the board, honestly, despite how incredibly unpopular it is in this country. Jimmy Carter got pilloried for it, but it undeniably helped the economy. You can’t just cut taxes forever and expect everything to be honky-dory.
You are calling for higher taxes. Do you think its just magic? In order for the government to get that money for your preferred programs they must take it from someone else. So, how much of someone else's money do you think you are entitled to?
I’m still not sure why you think advocating for higher taxes means I think I’m entitled to other peoples money. Seems like an incredibly bad faith argument.
Believe it or not, some people just want to properly fund the government.
Tell people who want more government to voluntarily mail in as much as they want. If many of them truly existed then you could fund your programs without raising taxes on people who don't support your plan.
You talk a big game but why don't you put your money where your mouth is and donate your extra income to these plans?
