Ever heard of the carried interest loophole ??
Definition of the loophole
Everyone does need to pay taxes and almost everyone is in one form or another things like federal gas taxes, etc. the notion that some people don’t pay taxes is incorrect, they may pay very little income taxes but overall everyone pays something
A couple of facts I think are true
We have a massively growing federal deficit which is causing huge problems
You need more revenue and lower spending realistically nothing will happen but probably won’t
The truly wealthy can and should pay more
The large and growing wealth inequality in the country will eventually lead to social unrest
During Covid a huge number of new billionaires were created, compared to average citizens who were crushed
What percent of their earned income would you suggest?
You sound like a liberal
Good luck with your tax the rich plan.
