Sure, try 70% tax rate. But close all the loopholes. All of em. Make Hollywood feel the burn. They’ll quietly pull their support after one tax season.
Your comment makes me think of game shows like “The Price is Right” and others of that nature. Sure, everybody likes to watch people win cars or trips to nice places or snazzy new furniture and other things for free and they will cheer and go crazy with Drew Carey or Steve Harvey or Pat Sajak or (when I was growing up) Bob Barker or Richard Dawson and many others from years past.
However, you can google “game show contestant stories” or something similar and learn the reality. Most of the time, you don’t get the fancy prizes unless you explicitly follow the producers’ instructions, pay the (likely) very pricey taxes as the cash and other goodies are taxable income, and other hoops to jump through. But it certainly is not presented in that manner on TV, isn’t it? And this is what the Dems and others are trying to do in this manner regarding taxes and “free” stuff.
