There’s a simple solution to ward off bankruptcy. Simply raise taxes. It’s clear as day. Hit those rich bastards especially hard.

You forgot the other half.

Give everybody a raise by increasing the min wage to 30 bucks/hr.

Also, can always hire more workers for the state, you know, just to tide them over during the rough times.

LOL We could take every dime from “the rich” and it wouldn’t even make a dent.

Just yesterday this thread was posted saying that Ford earned $1 billion in profit last quarter. Its a penny compared to federal spending.

Funny thing is that its the small businesses that produce the bulk of the revenue in America. In Michigan the sportfishing industry is a $7 to $10 billion dollar per year industry and its almost entirely small businessmen who work alone or have 1 or 2 employees.
