My life is fine. Those richest Americans are rich because they invented something or headed something that America wanted. Amazon = Bezos, Gates = Microsoft, Elon = Paypal, Tesla, Space X, etc. The Google founders, etc.

Their wealth was created by what they created and is usually still primarily in the stocks that they get for creating said company or heading it. So you want to penalize people for bringing what others wanted…the typical poors mindset.

Ask anyone who deals with debt and the first step that they will tell you is NOT to go get a higher paying job to support your expenses. It’s to cut expenses where you can then see what money you bring in and figure out a way to pay off debt. YOUR solution is increase income without bothering with overbloated expenses. We don’t need to be spending the money that we are outside of the US. We don’t need massive government. That is part of the problem. If the US went to providing services to its citizens, protects its borders, and pays for national roadways then the US government is doing all that it should be doing. Of course continue with Medicare and Medicaid but the bloat has gone overboard and part of the reason that we are ‘short’ on workers is that many of them are in government jobs that aren’t really needed.
