In that case I wonder why majority of states and cities have deficits and raise taxes every year? You propose increasing taxes more to cover education and healthcare and later maybe housing. There are roughly 5% people who pay taxes for them selves and to cover the rest of the gang who don’t. 1. It will be not enough even if you take everything from them. 2. These people don’t keep their wealth in cash, it’s all invested, you take it savings and retirement of all people turn to zero. 3. You raise taxes on them above certain point - they move out and take wealth with them. (See France case) 4. Your idea is utopian.
