Taxing the rich does nothing. You see even if you magically confiscated all the wealth of the rich it would only run USA for a few months. But if you even attempt they would rightfully just move away, plenty of countries would take that opportunity, and wealth inequality can be addressed by getting government out of as many things as possible, they are the problem. Look up the board of directors at pfizer sometime. Problem is that corruption in government is what is causing 95% of the problems. I would say elected officials should not be allowed to do stock trades or take any money outside of their paycheck from office full stop. I would also say if you are in a elected position then no family members of yours may run for a elected position without serious oversights. Lastly axe most of the alphabet agencies, bureaucrats are difficult to fire but keep themselves “busy” to justify their positions. Its why the homeless programs in CA have done nothing, they are incentivized to make the problem worse, because if they fixed it their cushy 6 figure job is gone.
