    😂 oh boy. Child i said eggs, milk, and roofs.

    Taxes are literally the last thing thats the problem there. We’re at historic lows. Lowering them for the low/middle class isnt going to get them food/housing.

    You crow about common sense and then completely misfire.

    Dont get me wrong I’m all for taxing billionaires hard. But thats not going to put more money in your pocket for the items above.

    You’ll need to do a lot more than tax billionaires harder to fix those issues.

    And im here for those changes in addition to taking billionaires more.

      The benefits don’t end there. If you really need me to keep explaining economics to you then just go take a course. If we taxed billionaires their fair share we could afford public services like child care or health care. Income inequality is the root of many of our problems in America. Including politics because now the wealthy have enough to literally buy votes as we saw with Elon Musk.
