LOL. Washington doesn’t have a revenue problem, it’s got a spending problem.
You are correct, of course. The point I was trying to make is the ‘the rich’ still pay almost nothing. Production and hard-work are what is taxed, not ‘the rich’.
That’s why we still have plenty of ‘rich’ while production and hard-work are officially discouraged.
Washington’s spending problem, when combined with it’s intelligence, as in IQ, deficiency, leaves little hope for any improvement.
