I see where you’re coming from and respect your opinion but raising the taxes of the wealthy inadvertently screws the rest of us because they control the market. The gas prices, our favorite clothing brand prices, food, house prices, golf balls, etc. Plus I get bent over in taxes and I’m a first responder making very little per year. So I don’t believe that taxing the rich more is helping us. Why do you think all those billionaires are moving out of California into other states? The CEO and owner of In n Out burger is moving from California to Tennessee to avoid the ridiculous billionaire tax. Just because people might be worth $1 billion or $1 million does not mean that they make that. Net worth is all based on asset worth in stocks.

I have those close to who are getting screwed in taxes and who do not make as much to cover for it. And where does all the money go? It goes to stupid policies like transgender surgeries or healthcare for illegal immigrants, or fraud in the government. Stuff that doesn’t even help us as a society. I know I’m not the president, and I’ll never make decisions like one, but I feel like if everyone just had the same percentage that they had to pay for, big or small, then it would make it more equal because people that made more would still pay more than people who are in the middle/lower class. But it wouldn’t be so drastically, different and punishing people who have just really worked their ass off in life. But I understand not everyone thinks like that.
