Taxes feed the very things that make rich richer.

Investing money in others education gives skilled labor.

Investing into infrastructure and research gives innovative technology to make business easier.

Investing in social needs lower crime

Investing in military (the bulk of our taxes; yielding a large population of conservatives) provides protection.

All from taxation.

There is no reason why the richest country in the world can’t feed their poor or provide them healthcare and shelter.

History shows:
The Revenue Act of 1935, 49 Stat. 1014 (Aug. 30, 1935), raised federal income tax on higher income levels, by introducing the "Wealth Tax".[1] It was a progressive tax that took up to 75 percent of the highest incomes (over $1 million per year.).[2] The Congress separately also passed new taxes that were regressive, especially the Social Security tax.
Okay
It was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt over strong opposition from business, the rich, and conservatives from both parties. The 1935 Act also was popularly known at the time as the "Soak the Rich" tax.
__
It is upsetting to hear we give welfare tax breaks to big companies while hear even bigger companies avoid paying taxes all together from enabling parties in congress

The Government doesn't have any money to invest

It either prints it or taxes it

1)Should look at mandatory spending vs discretionary spending. The military thing is only imaginably true if you ignore SS and Medicare. That's where Cori Bush and them get their sillypants math, leaving half the total out.

2)Not a "wealth tax" as what's being proposed now, just too much. Warren and the girls want to "tax" net worth.

White supremacists and Democrats both have the exact same ideologies that any race that isn’t white is basically an inferior sort of sub-species incapable of bettering themselves (despite data that shows that Asians actually have higher median incomes than white people). The only difference is that white supremacists believe they were born that way and Democrats believe we made them that way and only the white saviors can “save” them

Both CONSTANTLY psychologically condition non-whites to feel inferior and disempowered
