You probably don’t wanna hear it but it’s not just the wealthy that need to be taxed more. Everyone needs to be taxed more.

I mean, sure, but it's not that the wealthy need to be taxed MORE, they need to be taxed SIGNIFICANTLY MORE. They need to be taxed a shitload more. They steal such a massive portion of the wealth that their current taxes aren't even a drop in the bucket, they're a rounding error at most.

You're not going to like this but the wealthy already pay most of the taxes and the poor and middle pay almost nothing.

Relative to their stolen wealth, they don't pay jack shit and you know it.
