The whole raise the taxes thing became a complete meme once Congress started printing trillions on a whim. Even if you taxed the 1% at 100% Congress would have spent it all only a few months into the Biden admin. And all that printing has already caused our taxes to go up via the devaluation of our wealth.

If we would just tax everybody $10 million a year we can fix the economy.

Most people are too stupid to understand taxes and fall for the "raise taxes on the rich" trope every time, which only squeezes the middle class more, broadening the wealth divide.

Better educate the public and try not to give podium to dirty liars who espouse old lies like "tax the rich".

Educate the public about what? Education makes people do less dumb decisions but it's not a solution to sistematic problems. What is your solution to this sistematic problem?

Educate them about taxes and how we tax income, thus "taxing the rich" is always a lie.

And children from schools with bullying problems have no right to tell me what kind of rifle I can have.

This is correct.
