You could tax the income of those making over $250,000 at 100% and would not have enough money to cover the current deficit. The idea that we can keep piling spending program on top of spending program and have “the rich” pay for it all is a fantasy. And the media is committing a crime against the nation by going along with the Dems in suggesting we can. We are at the end of the line for the Welfare State. Its broken. Its a monster that cannot be tamed and is eating everything in sight. Neither Democrat nor Republican seems to want to try to stop it. Even the ones who may be willing to don’t have the means or ability to stop it. Its a machine, ingrained in the bureacracy. Spend spend spend and then spend more for the sake of spending.
Sums up what you said nicely:
