You can as long as 51% of the electorate pays no taxes...you do it by forced expropriation from the 49%...for a while.
You said “for a while”. I believe Zero thought he would cook the goose that lays the golden eggs and he and his buddies would enjoy roast goose for some time to come. I don’t think they anticipated the goose might just move on down the road and he and his buddies would be left with nothing. I think folks in this country who still have some wealth have been smart enough to put it out of his hands. Unfortunately in so doing it is also not working in the economy. I don’t think any one anticipated just how rapidly this shock could apply the brakes and bring things to a halt. Right now most are buying only food, fuel, and ammo. Zero can print all the money he wants if folks are hunkered down they won’t come out of the bunker.
