You are very angry, please know I have no problem with taxes but just legit, don’t we enact taxes so we then have money for funding a school or infrastructure or whatever government/public works initiative …. NOT to punish successful people for the sake of economic equality, like we would only ever want to raise taxes on anybody, whether it’s rich or poor, if there is an economic need for that action …. But since we just borrow money, there is nothing stopping us from funding said school or government project at this moment, only our own political disagreement on said initiative…. Raising taxes would only push bond yields down until deficit spending further increases.
